How to attach file to google form

Posted on by Ekkapon

I am encountering an issue with uploading a file to a Google Form.

When I click on "Attach file" in Google Forms, it opens an iframe for file selection. The domain of the iframe is different from the main form. I retrieved the source (src) URL of the iframe and opened it in a new tab. However, when I upload a file, it doesn't link back to the original form. How can I resolve this problem?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Ekkapon

I think we may need to close it via our actions itself. Actually i tried to automate the normal appraoch by which files are uploaded to google form like below

clicking File Upload will open the upload file dialog like below

clicking browse will open a dialog box window from which we can select the file path which needs to be uploaded to.

So i did the simmilar way of automating using power automate desktop like below

First it clicks on file upload button, then it clicks on browse button and type the file path and clicks open. then the file is uploaded , but when it is automated, once the file is uploaded the browse dialog box will not be closed, so as a alternative approach i used send keys to send keys on the below indicated window to close it. Not sure why it is not closing after uploading the file , But there was a aleternative to resolve this

Hi @Ekkapon

Could disable send physical click option in that action and try it again ?
