    Also I would like to ask if it is possible to auto-save images that I have uploaded to save a copy in my Google Drive folder as a backup

    Hi Adrian,

    I checked your form and noticed that you already have a Google Drive integration. However, when I checked it further, I noticed that you need to re-integrate the form again:

    It's easy to re-integrate the Google Drive integration. First, we’ll remove the existing Action. Let me show you how to do it:

    1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
    2. In the menu on the left, click on Integrations and select the Google Drive integration.
    3. Click on Remove Integration, and in the window that opens, click on Yes, Discard.

    Now, let's connect the Google Drive Integration again:

    1. While in Google Drive Integration settings, click on the Add New Action button.
    2. Now, select an action and click on Next.
    3. Authenticate your Google Account and click on Add Action
    4. Once you finish customizing, click on the Save button at the bottom right of the settings.

    I had re-integrate the form  Google Drive Integration

    Please check.

    Also I had put image 1 as require in order to submit
    So now I am sure all submissions will be save to Google drive.
    I do edit submissions when job it in a different state
    Does editing using the edit Entry or using the table make a difference
    I like to use the table edit but my wife like to use the edit entry.
    Now that I now images will be saved to google dive we will find out why images is missing on jobform server.

    Hi Adrian,

    In terms of saving images to Google Drive, the integration saves the images at the time of submission. Editing submissions afterward, whether through the Edit Entry or Table, does not resend or re-upload images to Google Drive automatically. This means that if you edit a submission and change or add images using either method, those changes will not be reflected in the Google Drive folder unless the form is resubmitted or the integration is triggered again by a new submission.

    So, you can use whichever editing method you prefer for managing submissions. Just keep in mind that the Google Drive backup of images is based on the original submission data. If you want to ensure all images are saved to Google Drive, it is best to have the images uploaded and submitted through the form initially, as you have set with the required image field.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.
