Google Drive is a cloud-based storage service from Google that lets users store, access, and share files securely from any device.
It supports multiple file types including documents, images, videos, and PDFs with seamless syncing across devices.
With Cloud Storage Manager free plugin (3rd party), which is developed by a WP Manage Ninja approved agency FluentWiz, Google Drive can be connected to Fluent Forms Pro smoothly.
The Google Drive integration with Fluent Forms Pro stores uploaded files and images in Google Drive. It uses your website’s local storage only temporarily during the upload process. You can enable the option to automatically delete the file from your website’s local storage within the Cloud Storage Manager settings if you do not want to save a local copy.
