Let anyone upload files to your Google Drive: no Google account needed.
Share one link. People drop their files; they land in a Drive folder you choose. Use it alongside your Google Form or on its own.
Early access: license and setup guide right after checkout. Full refund if it doesn't work for you within 21 days.
The problem
Uploads force sign-in
Google's own help says it plainly: for a file upload question, “responders need to sign in to a Google Account.” Google Help
You can't embed it
Forms with a File upload question can't be embedded on your website. Google withholds the embed code (details).
People bounce, or get exposed
Clients, applicants and the public often don't have or won't use a Google account. Those who do sign in have their Google account name recorded with the upload.
How CatchFolder works
1. Install in your Google account
A guided ~5-minute setup creates a small upload app in your Google account and a destination folder in your Drive.
2. Share your link
Send it, put it in your Google Form's description, or link it from your site. No sign-in for uploaders.
3. Files arrive in Drive
Every file goes into your folder, with a log row in a Google Sheet (name, email field, file, time) and an optional email to you.
Private by design
Files go from the uploader's browser to your own Google Drive through the app installed in your account. CatchFolder never stores your files and never receives your Google password or a token to your Drive. How the license check works.

FAQ
Do people need a Google account to upload?
No. Anyone with your CatchFolder link can upload from a browser on phone or desktop. No sign-in, and no Google identity is collected from them.
Where do the files go?
Into a folder in your own Google Drive. CatchFolder runs as a small upload app inside your own Google account (a Google Apps Script web app you install in a guided, about 5-minute setup), so files travel from the uploader's browser to your Drive. We don't store your files.
Does it work with my existing Google Form?
Yes, as a companion: remove the File upload question (which forces sign-in) and add your CatchFolder link to the form, or share the link on its own. Each upload is logged in a Google Sheet with the uploader's name or email field if you ask for one.
What are the limits?
Up to 50 MB per file at launch (a Google Apps Script limit; larger files are planned). Total storage is your own Drive quota. Event Pass: 1 upload link, up to 500 uploads, for 30 days. Annual: unlimited links for 12 months.
Does it work with Google Workspace (work or school) accounts?
Usually, but some Workspace admins block web apps that anyone can open. Personal Gmail accounts work. If your admin blocks it, we refund you.
When do I get access?
Right after checkout: the confirmation page shows your license key, and the 5-minute setup guide is at catchfolder.vercel.app/docs/setup. It's early access: if you can't get it working within 21 days of purchase, you get a full refund.
Is the annual plan a subscription?
No. It's a one-time $59 charge that covers 12 months from delivery. There is no auto-renewal.
