Therefore, make sure you have Elementor and Elementor Pro **Installed and Activated.** - Open your page with **Edit with Elementor** and drag the **Form** widget onto it, or click an existing form. - Add all the necessary fields (e.g., name, email, etc.) - In the **Form Fields** list, click **+ Add Item** to add a new field. - From the field's **Type** dropdown, look for the **Google Drive Upload** field type and select it.

Your form now lives right on that page, so there is no shortcode to copy. [![The finished form in the Elementor editor with the Publish button](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-elementor-form-11-publish.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-elementor-form-11-publish.webp) Now whenever someone uploads a file, image, or any other attachment, you will receive an email suggesting the activity and also the file or attachment will be saved inside your connected folder.
