Publish File Upload Form as Web App

After the design of the form is complete, the last step is to publish the form as web app so external users can access your form and upload files to your Google Drive.

When you publish your form as a web app, Google Script will provide you with a unique URL (web address) that you can share with anyone over email, text message, blog, tweet or link it from your own website.
