Do you prefer to store all of your file uploads in a specific cloud storage instead of your site? Do you need to share the form attachments with your co-workers or clients? Is Google Drive the best medium for these purposes?

The Form Maker Google Drive Integration add-on integrates Form Maker with Google Drive so you can constantly send the file uploads to the Google Drive. An automatic folder is being created within the Google Drive storage space. All of the file uploads are being transferred to this location.
