Hi community, 

I am trying to connect Jotform to a Excel spreadsheet stored in my Google Drive but the only storage connections available to connect to is Onedrive and Sharepoint.  I have added Google Drive find my file before the excel connection but it doesn’t really work.  Before I give up and just use a Google Sheet, can anyone tell me how to easily connect jotform to an excel spreadsheet file stored in Google Drive?  It just can’t be that hard, I’m obviously missing something easy here.  Thanks so much!

Hi @CW1978 

Good question.

If you are using an online Excel, then try using the Excel Zap app: https://zapier.com/apps/excel/integrations

If you are using an online GSheet, then use the GSheet Zap app: https://zapier.com/apps/google-sheets/integrations


Thank you very much.  I use excel from office 365 downloaded onto my laptop and the file is stored in google drive.  I tried to add in google drive find a file into the zap and it can find it but I can’t get the excel step in the process to find the file to update.

The Excel/GSheet needs to be an online version to be used in Zaps.

If the Excel file is in GDrive, then the Excel File needs to be converted to a GSheet.


Hey there, @CW1978! I wanted to stop by and see if you were able to get this sorted? Keep us posted! 🤗
