Copy the shortcode and embed it inside one of your existing pages, or create a new page. In Gravity Forms, click **Embed** at the top of the form editor to add the form to a page or copy its shortcode. [![The Embed button in the Gravity Forms editor](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-gravity-forms-11-publish.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-gravity-forms-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.
