hello sir, can you edit your script after uploading the file, on google sheet collum only displays links not hyperlinks?

[@rakeshvarma2121]

try jotform you fool

[@rakeshvarma2121]

Taking money like shit.. like nobody else

[@sangeetjass]

You are briliant

[@sannebloem]

This fits my needs so perfectly I am crying joy tears. Thank you Amit.

[@minipfp4009]

You are a life saver! Thank you very much! I had a few people complaining because they didn't have a google account to upload photos.

[@casianreport3318]

the problem is not this app, is google company for this.

[@AlexEzorskyVFX]

This is absolutely HUGE! I've never seen a web hack with more useful potential. Unfortunately google forms and sheets UI have changed slightly since this video was made but I was able to translate the changes and made it work, thank you thank you thank you!

[@michaelmoraga2926]

You are a great teacher... pacing, clarity, knowledge. Thank you so very much.

[@jamiegrinnell]

I couldn't find script editor in Tools, but I did find Apps Script in the Extensions menu. It opens up Apps Script in Form Studio.

[@fourtruepr]

I realized after creating 3 forms.. and the third one refused to load properly.. I found in the comments that this form expires. I would have liked to know that before but I'm grateful I caught it before I encouraged my customers to use it. Thanks

[@danzone8670]

Excellent expression. I am subscribing your channel. Keep going brother

[@stamfordnationalamericanli2977]

Thank you so much for this very well thought out form and for a great tutorial. Seems like anytime I was wondering if your form could do a certain thing in the next moment you would explain just how to do it. Thanks for helping me use this to gather photos from parents and coaches to help our little league create our yearbook in a streamlined fashion!

[@apiforward7838]

Not sure if you're still checking this post, but I'm having trouble getting uploaded files to save anywhere. I tried saving it to the default folder, then tried directing it to a specific folder. Nothing happens. The files are nowhere to be found. Also, every once in a while, after hitting submit, a blank browser page shows up but nothing happens--no confirmation, no error message. Then I have to refresh the browser and submit again. I only know to do this because I have access to the spreadsheet that tells me nothing came in. A normal user wouldn't know to do that and would assume it went through. Any insights into either of my issues? Thank you so much.

[@jaredshami4321]

I did not realize this costs money. I set everything up and had people using it. I went to change some stuff a week later and the form was gone with a message saying my trial was up. I didn’t even know I started a trial. I wonder what the users must have thought seeing that message after I gave them the form link. Looks like I will just figure out how to code a form myself. Please be sure to make it clear that this is a trial product in your videos.

[@m4xse]

Hello Friend. Did you find out how to code the form?

[@rexbenny1553]

If I'm not wrong it is only paid if you send your form for validation, as it requires you to use google cloud, which is a paid service.

[@artdoscomputer]

Thank you very much for your script! Excuse the question how could I put a text validation for email? And how can I correct the time zone? Thanks a Lot!!!

[@hariknair3765]

Thanks Amit, get walk through of its features and additional capabilities! I do have a question for Amit or anyone out there, I’ve recently started using Google forms and every time I upload a file via forms, Google automatically adds my name to the end of the file name. Any way we can stop it being added automatically to the file name, and just keep the original file name? Since I already renamed the file through my PDF scanning app. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks Hari

[@angieperng3867]

why is the form URL different that the URL in the script? I have tried it many times, restart my PC, run it with incognito mode, and it is still the same. I can't get other people to access the form, it always says 'unable to open file, address incorrect etc'. I have tried to re-deploy the script again, but it is the same. I watch the tutorial many times, repeating it step by step. What am I missing?

[@JimGarnerGroundScouts]

Is there a way to customise a logo at top or change the basic form backgrounds? I also need to have internal users logged with their email without them having to manually enter them. Also, for multi-file uploads, is there a way to show separate links in the sheet cell? Lastly, can I prepopulate form fields from a column in another sheet? Amit! Great job on this! Thank you.

[@rfujii3654]

This form is glitchy. I removed the original questions. When I added 3 new questions, the script will work. When I start adding new questions without changing the text, the form will load. If I change the text in the question type, the form will not load and I get an error in the script message.

[@gillburke3007]

Thankyou Amit - this is a great online demo - you've made it very easy to understand even for someone like me who while not a luddite is not particularly technical. A question for you - is it possible to take a form that has already been created and copy. I have to do a number of very similar forms and it would be a great help not to have to redo the whole lot every time. Thanks Gill

[@guadalupecaballero1659]

Amit the form link at the end keeps giving me an Error message, can you please help out. Thank you

[@mariaromano7572]

Thanks so much for this helpful video. Is there a way to copy File Upload Forms over to another google account (so that I don't have to build it again from scratch)? Whether by sharing the form or moving it between accounts somehow? Thanks again!

[@russellturner3323]

Can you make it go to a certain question based on question responses? I know you can do it in the normal google form maker. Did not see it in yours.

[@racheldocknox]

Yes, this was a question I had too. A game changer.

[@GabrielleSamsonCoach]

This is great I don't you if you came up with this but it was very clear and I was able to do it! I am very happy. Thanks for your help!

[@PauloSantos-bq3yl]

Amit, I'm having a problem with my form. The "browse" button is not working (it is disabled) in order to attach a file to the form. Also I'm not able to edit the form. Can you please help me?

[@bapisaha3990]

Thanks for this info. But I want to set the upload file as the picture, the format is jpg only, and the resolution is 120 pixels x 150 pixels. Now how can I do this in google form or in your format ??

[@adshabrack]

Do you have a recommendation or video on how to create a certificate of completion from the data gathered in this google sheet? I need to send the user something and am not sure which addon works well with this.

[@abdularif1758]

Any update for 2024? They changed the interface (specifically for enabling upload without sign-in)

[@LumediaMworks]

Can you upload video formats? OR do you need a certain code?

[@sandeepsharma3090]

Thanks Amit for making this tutorial. Is there any update on this tutorial? Now many commands have changed with regard to the script execution and deployment.

[@mufidmasruhan]

Thank you sir I request permission to download the file and I will make the tutorial form this file in Indonesian version regards

[@ArthurEbing]

Thank you so much! You've saved me hours of coding!!

[@rfujii3654]

I got an error message. Do you know what I should do?

[@jayzelsantos6907]

Hi Amit, I keep getting this error "Sorry, unable to open the file at this time.". I tried deploying a new script but still did not work

[@LindseyTeal-f1j]

Thank you!! This is exactly what I was looking for. Amazing!!

[@judoCHOPZ]

Thanks for this!

[@isabelleokeeffe6526]

Hi, is this still relevant? Form Studio look very different now, and I don't see the publish option any more.

[@SergioMorraIAMAS]

Thank you so much for the explanation! Very easy to follow. I am having an issue i don't understand. When I open the form link I just see a huge command line which starts with "Exception: Contenuti HTML non corretti: " (I guess Exception: Malformed HTML content). Can you help me please?

[@festivalbirdwatchingsagres2710]

Hi. Very interesting tool, worked very well for me. Thank you! Needs a bit of work on the validation on three levels: a) in my form with many short-responses, the first one always loses the "validation" box, for some reason. I've replaced it, duplicated, created from scratch and to no avail. I'm guessing it's a coding bug. b) would be amazing if validation toons could be added in a friendly-user way on the editing side, such as you find in Google Forms (I know this is asking for a lot, just throwing it out there). c) validation as seen by the people filling the form should be dynamic (we currently have one error message that fits the entire form). Users don't see, for example, the character count for their reply, or that they are using a special character when they shoudn't - they just know something is wrong. Again, I know this is asking for a lot. :) Thanks again for sharing!

[@chocoyearn9462]

First thanks for this tutorial. I have two questions as I have created a form for guest check in. I have , two questions. Will my be permanent or iit will be expired? I have add field named check in time and select time. But when I fill up the check in time is not showing it blank in the spreadsheet. Please guide Thanks in advance.

[@Ellamenopee]

Will the capability for limiting the number of characters for a paragraph answer be added? This is a function that exists on Google Forms.

[@lauramendez3634]

Thank you for your super useful tutorial!! You've made possible a very important function to my marketing campaings. Thanks!!

[@lashunwashington5850]

Thank you for the tutorial. It is great! is it possible to add to email addresses to the cc field in the email. I tried and even separated them by ; but it did not work. Any suggestions?

[@Lukesimonphotography]

Amazing, so great thanks very much. Does this still need to be paid for after 1 week as the comments below suggest ?

[@fahemzoldyck1729]

Im kinda confused. Is this app safe ? while I was doing the 'deploy to the web' step and I got a big warning asking me if I trust the app. and is it alright the fact that 'File Upload Forms' wants to access my Google Account , and be able to read , write and even delete any file it wants in my Drive ?

[@2vef763]

At 5'55", when I clicked on "File Upload Forms --> Edit Form..", Form Designer did not pop up. Instead, I got this error message, "SyntaxError: Unexpected strict mode reserved word " Clicking on just gave me the exact same error message, "SyntaxError: Unexpected strict mode reserved word" And does nothing. (1) Any idea how to fix this? (2) Do your form and spreadsheet created this way require fees as someone pointed out here? By the way this is a great video. Very clear.

[@perreo4049]

same here

[@bperotta]

Go to script editor and "Run" (on the menu) and disable Apps Script technology V8

[@Higherupphotography]

Did you ever figure this out?

[@raavipraka]

Sir, Thanks for such a wonderful creation. Please tell me how to apply FormLimiter or any other Adds On gives same functions like FormLimiter.

[@walkwithme1087]

Good explanation Amit You the best! Thank you so much 😊

[@sofiacangiano765]

Thanks Amit, I just created this. What is the File Size limit and the number of File Maximum (if there are any)?

[@ruggerolorenzin5298]

Amit, I'm having a problem with my form. The "browse" button is not working (it is disabled) in order to attach files especially in mobile device. Can you please help me?

[@acidigitallearning4367]

Thanks Amit, It's Great, Sir is this technique free, how many form can create for free and how many person can upload file for free, any charge for 1000 perople can upload.

[@alvarobertelsen6245]

Amazing tutorial and work! Thanks for sharing it!

[@kathryntan6733]

Hi Amit. Can you create branching questions with the File Upload Form? Thanks!

[@AnandGeorges]

Since the user doesn't need to be authenticated I have a query related to file storage since the folder structure is based on email id. A user submits his form with his email id and it's stored suitably. Now another user submits the from the previous user's email id. What happens to the data? Thanks

[@zulfkr197]

My form get message "The trial period has expired. Please buy a license to continue using forms. " i dont know why, i want to ask how to change for free features?? or this not free forever? (trial).. please solution. thank you.

[@PositivitysDust]

Does it have file limit to upload?? (pictures)

[@SheHoldsDearly]

Thank you! Really helpful!

[@PinoyGamingClub]

It says the form has expired?

[@racheldocknox]

This was extremely helpful! How do I customize the color for the form. None of the color themes work on my site, and I’d like to be able to match the color precisely.

[@LuckydogMultimedia]

Hi! did you get an answer to this?

[@midhunmohan2592]

Sir, whenever I tried open the form I got the message "sorry, unable to open the file at this time".

[@praneethBillana]

Thank you very much. Nice Video. Keep Posting

[@vallehv10011]

I am very interested, Can a new folder be created based on the person name? I want them to be able to upload pictures but each person´s pictures in one folder. Please let me know.

[@clax7616]

Hello amit , i've tried doing this twice , recently , but failed , just wanted to know , if this still works or not , because i remeber back then , 2-3 months back , this was working , but now it isn't let me know if this thing is still working or not ?

[@abhijiththulaseedharan7495]

From my personal account I am unable to deploy the web app for the anonymous user.. So looks like this is similar to Google Form which also require user to login

[@tofuComputer]

Thank you! This tutorial was extremely helpful!

[@pvshabarish696]

Hi, That is a very useful support for work. and I need a "textbox Grid" option in google forms for my work, where I can enter the text for multiple fields at a same time rather than submitting the forms multiple times. Can you help with the "Textbox Grid". Thank You

[@b5g4s83]

can we directly insert uploaded image in google form to google doc using document studio?

[@kathikth]

Deari sir, Is there any expiry period for this.. i have created and rolled out.. unfortunatly after 3 days a message was pop up saying your trial period got expired. any solution for this.. we have 15GB free space in our local google drive, so not understanding on what basid this is showing as expired.

[@spamboteli]

Hello sir, this is an amazing idea to collect documents from users. But I have one problem. i couldn't find the redirect option. would you help me, please?

[@buzzocean3129]

Everything works fine. But I can't get the exact link to the file that was uploaded to google drive. The hyperlink only directs me to the folder where the file was uploaded. I need the link to the file instead. For example if a video was uploaded, I need to embed the video in my webpage. Could you please help me out ??

[@md.jubairahmed6580]

Is it possible to save uploaded photos in google photos instead google drive? Due to storage shortage. If possible then It will be very helpful if you can make a tutorial.

[@shahenbabayan4198]

Amit I made payment for File Upload Forms , but I have problem with license Seems , it hangs in the process of confirmation. What can I do ?

[@FrederickDunn]

Frustrating, in the same situation - no response from this company. They took our money though :)

[@novanauliarohman5463]

Great ... i'll try soon ... very Big thanks Amit ...

[@subratdas3490]

Hi Sir, while I was following step by step what you have guided but "Form Designer" window is not loading all the tabs. So I am unable to go ahead. please guide me. Thanks

[@rifkymaulana9696]

hello sir, can you edit your script after uploading the file, on google sheet collum only displays links not hyperlinks?

[@siddharth507]

Can u modify this script which accepts only xslx file and overwrite the data in a particular gsheet (not new sheet everytime), so that gsheet is used for calculation and gets updated every time user upload excel file..... Thanks in advance.

[@dominicpainter7105]

I need some help. I completed the form several weeks ago and the main link showcased in the configuration panel does not work. If i go back to the publishing panel I can publish again and get a different code that worked. It worked about 2 weeks and now it goes to a screen stating "Sorry, unable to open the file at this time". The actual form in Google Sheets has a license activation option. Is my issue that the form was a trial that now needs to be paid for, or, is it a coding problem?

[@sutsisatsi]

As far as I know the trial expires after 5 days. So yeah, it has to be paid for.

[@riyadongre285]

thankyou so much . loved this simple and easy tutorial

[@imhh11]

doest work "Sorry, unable to open the file at this time."

[@PauloSantos-eo9bl]

Hi, great video. I think this is a question that has been made before, but I haven't seen the answer. Is there a way to insert a logo at the top of the form? Thanks.

[@sutsisatsi]

They don't seem to be very good at answering people's questions. I've sent them questions that I couldn't find answers to anywhere around two weeks ago, and got no response. So you better hope you never need any support when using this form.

[@JinaneKarhani]

Just edit the html .

[@asliceofthemiscellaneous]

Do I have to install the Document Studio add-on to use this File Upload option?

[@dorlagrant4079]

How can I customize the form to input information that need? Can I insert new section as I can in google forms?

[@caohuuquang1497]

First thanks for this tutorial. It have notification "Error: TypeError: Cannot find function toLowerCase in object 1" when submited form. Please guide. Thanks in advance!

[@ayeagayea]

@Amit. Great tutorial and is working well. Anyone knows how to add address field with google autocomplete address?

[@djchang4519]

I followed your video step by step, but just receive a blank Form Designer after selecting Edit Form. Any reason why?

[@AskMeAboutSkydivingcom]

My upload button no longer works. Dammit. 70+ positive experiences over three months and now broken... any suggestions please?

[@Higherupphotography]

File Upload Form gives me a "SyntaxError: Unexpected strict mode reserved word" error when selecting any option in that tab. There's not a lot of code, so what could it be. Can anyone help?

[@layerfmri]

This is a trap. The form expired after a week and then you need to buy licenses

[@multimediaproduction6674]

Is this true? Do we really need to pay for this? Why does this 19 min video not mention that!!!

[@lorifife2018]

When I first created my form it created the individual folders for the file uploads. I had to make some edits to the form and now they do not connect? What do I need to do ?

[@Speroid]

What could go wrong: Sorry, unable to open the file at this time. Please check the address and try again?

[@jeffchau1095]

it says Sorry, unable to open the file at this time. Please check the address and try again. followed instructions exactly.

[@CosimoPalu]

How can I allow a user to edit/update their submission?

[@Jason-ri8th]

Can the form be configured to name the uploaded file according to the value entered in the name field?

[@Manojmishra154]

Sir please help me How can i redirect a custom a url in Google form after submit

[@francesco3435]

Hi Amit, is the usage of this script free or does it expire? Thanks a lot!

[@DarkPa1adin]

it expires

[@abc_ielts]

Sir, I have tried this method very many times on different pc but when I click on edit form, I always get a blank page showing nothing except than a couple of words 'Form Designer'. Please help me.

[@DEGAtv]

Unfortunately there seems to be a file size limit. I was hoping this would be a solution to have clients send me large files. I'm not sure what the limit is, but I had someone try to upload a 187gb zip file, and it was immediately rejected by the server.

[@ILoveTinfoilHats]

Well yeah... someones gotta pay for that

[@yavormihailov4462]

I got the paid version... but I can't activate it for over a week now! It's awful....

[@nicksonbonke2608]

Good work can it edit response after submit?

[@MrAnnareddyvishnu]

Building forms on this platform will be free?

[@djstoneenotsjd]

I downloaded the sheet, everything is working well, could I use It for free without paying?

[@CryptoCoinsIndia]

You are simply superb.

[@ILoveTinfoilHats]

This tool is too buggy to ask people to pay for the license. First make it work properly, then maybe

[@チャンクァンフィ]

thank you for your app, help me solve the problem very quick
