How to set up AidaForm + Google Drive Zapier integration

The integration allows you to automatically send files that your respondents upload and submit on your form to the specified Google Drive.

The instructions below describe a basic integration that is available in free Zapier accounts. The integration will allow you to send all files collected on your form to a specified folder of your Google Drive and to name the files using various parameters, e.g. Response id, Field name, File name etc. Paid Zapier accounts allow you to fine-tune the integration, for example to collect files for separate responses into separate folders, but the tutorial does not cover the cases.

You need to set up a separate Zapier integration for each required form.

If your form has multiple File Upload fields, you only need to use one of them to set up the integration.
