You can easily do this by using **DriveHub** with **SureForms**. This setup is super useful because large files never touch your hosting space, every upload lands in the Drive folder you choose, and each form entry links to the files it brought in.

[![Create a File Uploader module](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-04-create-module.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-04-create-module.webp) ## Step 5: Choose Your Google Drive Folder (Source Tab) In this step, you pick where the files from your form will go: - Go to the **Source** Tab. - Pick the Google Drive folder where you want people's uploaded files to be saved. [![Choosing the folder in the Source tab](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-05-source-tab.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-05-source-tab.webp) ## Step 6: Choose File Rules (Filter Tab) Here, you can decide what kinds of files people are allowed to send: - Go to the **Filter** Tab. - **Allowed Extensions:** Type in the types of files you want (like pdf, docx) separated by commas. If you leave this blank, people can upload any file type. - **File Limits:** Choose the maximum number of files people can upload (**Max File Uploads**), and how big or small the file size can be (**Max File Size (MB)** and **Min File Size (MB)**). [![Filter tab settings](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-06-filter-tab.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-06-filter-tab.webp) ## Step 7: Change How It Looks (Advanced Tab) - Go to the **Advanced** Tab. - Here, you can change the size and width of the upload box on your website. [![Advanced tab settings](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-07-advanced-tab.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-07-advanced-tab.webp) ## Step 8: Set Up Email Alerts (Notifications Tab) - Go to the **Notifications** Tab. - Turn this on if you want to get an email every time someone uploads a file through your form. [![Notifications tab settings](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-08-notifications-tab.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-08-notifications-tab.webp) ## Step 9: Choose Who Can Use It (Permissions Tab) - Go to the **Permissions** Tab. - Here, you can choose if **Everyone** can use the upload box, or only people who are **Logged In** to your website. - You can also set a password if you want to keep the uploader extra safe. Don't forget to click the **Save changes** button at the top right when you are finished! [![Permissions tab settings](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-09-permissions-tab.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-09-permissions-tab.webp) ## Step 10: Add the Google Drive Upload Field (SureForms Editor) Now add the upload box to your form. Go to **SureForms** > **New Form**, or edit an existing form: - Add the fields you need (for example **Text** for the client's name). - Open the block inserter. Under **General Fields**, click **Google Drive Upload** to add it to your form. [![Adding the Google Drive Upload field in the SureForms editor](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-10-add-field.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-10-add-field.webp) - Click the **Google Drive Upload** field to open its settings on the right. - Change the **Label** (for example *Case Documents*) and turn on **Required** if every client must send at least one file. - Pick your module from the **Google Drive Module** dropdown. Only **File Uploader** modules are listed. - Add **Help Text** and an **Error Message** if you like. [![Picking the module in the field settings](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-10-pick-module.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-10-pick-module.webp) Don't forget to click **Save** (or **Publish** on a new form) at the top right! ## Step 11: Add the Form to a Page Let's put the form on your website: - Go to **SureForms** > **Forms**. - Click the shortcode next to your form to copy it. - Paste it into any page or post. You can also add the **SureForms** block to a page and pick your form there. [![Copy the form shortcode from the SureForms Forms list](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-11-publish.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-11-publish.webp) ## Step 12: See the Result And that's it. Your visitors now see the DriveHub upload box inside the form. Files go straight to your Google Drive folder while they fill out the rest of the form, and the form will not send until a required upload field has a file. [![The SureForms form with the DriveHub upload box](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-12-end-result.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-12-end-result.webp) When the form is sent, the entry keeps a link to every uploaded file. Open **SureForms** > **Entries** and click an entry: each file name opens the file in Google Drive. The admin email and the field's smart tag show the same links. [![The SureForms entry with links to the Google Drive files](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-13-entry-links.webp)](https://sovlix.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/drivehub-sureforms-13-entry-links.webp) ## Already Using the SureForms Pro File Upload Field? **Note:** This needs SureForms Pro. If your forms already use the **File Upload** field from **SureForms Pro**, DriveHub can send those files to Google Drive too: - Edit the form and click **Form** in the settings sidebar on the right. - In the **Google Drive (DriveHub)** panel, pick a File Uploader module in **Send uploads to Google Drive**. Leave it on **Off (keep files on this site)** to keep things as they are. - Turn on **Delete local copy after upload** if you don't want to keep a copy on your server. - Click **Save**. After each submission, DriveHub copies the uploaded files to the module's folder, and the entry links to Google Drive instead of your uploads folder. ## Benefits of using DriveHub with SureForms - **Save hosting space:** Form attachments go to Google Drive, not your server. - **Linked entries:** Each SureForms entry and admin email lists the uploaded files with links to Google Drive. - **One place for files:** Every attachment lands in the folder you picked on the module. - **Your rules:** Limit file types, sizes and who can upload, right from the module. With **DriveHub and SureForms**, collecting client documents through your forms is simple and tidy. **Related guides:** - [How to Connect DriveHub to Gravity Forms and Send Files to Google Drive](https://sovlix.com/docs/how-to-connect-drivehub-to-gravity-forms-and-send-files-to-google-drive/) - [How to Let Visitors Upload Files to Google Drive](https://sovlix.com/docs/how-to-let-visitors-upload-files-to-google-drive/) - [How to Get Email Notifications for Downloads and Uploads](https://sovlix.com/docs/how-to-get-email-notifications-for-downloads-and-uploads/)
