Free form and survey builder in Google Workspace.
If you need a simple, free way to collect customer feedback, take orders, or run surveys, Google Forms is hard to beat. It's completely free, easy to set up in minutes, and automatically sends responses to Google Sheets — which saves you a ton of manual work. The big downside is that it looks basic and lacks advanced features like payment collection or conditional logic that more powerful tools offer.
Multiple question types — multiple choice, dropdowns, grids, file uploads
Responses automatically flow into Google Sheets
Built-in quiz mode with auto-grading
Share via link, email, or embed on website
Conditional logic for different question paths

Google Forms saves all your forms and collected data directly to your Google Drive (cloud storage). You can organize forms into folders and share them with your team just like any other file. This keeps everything in one place so you never lose a form or its responses. It also makes it simple to control who on your team can edit or view each form.
Form Maker lets you build a Google Form by entering your questions into a Google Sheet and pressing a button. It supports all major question types and lets you set validation rules (rules that check if answers are filled in correctly). This speeds up form creation if you already have your questions organized in a spreadsheet.
Every Google Form is stored and managed in Google Drive — forms appear alongside Docs, Sheets, and Slides in your Drive folders. File uploads collected via a form are saved directly to a Drive folder you specify. Small businesses use Drive to organize forms by client, project, or department, and to share editing access to forms with teammates through standard Drive permissions.
Google Forms Pack syncs form responses into Coda tables for analysis.
Gmail and Google Forms are both listed as core Google Workspace products on the Gmail integrations page. Small businesses distribute Google Forms survey and intake links via Gmail, and form response summaries can be emailed automatically to the form owner. This makes Gmail the delivery and notification channel for form-based data collection.
AppSheet is a no-code app builder (meaning you don't need to write code) that connects to Google Forms and Sheets to turn your data into a mobile app. You can build apps for field teams, inventory tracking, or customer intake without a developer. It's built by Google and installs directly from the Workspace Marketplace.
Google Forms has a built-in, native connection to Google Sheets. Every form response is automatically appended as a new row in a linked Sheet in real time. You set this up with one click inside the Forms Responses tab — no third-party connector needed. Small businesses use this as the foundation for lightweight data collection workflows: collect intake information, event registrations, or internal requests in a Form, then use the Sheet to analyze, filter, or share the results.
