How to Upload Multiple Files instead of Single File - Using Google Drive on Make.com
Hello everyone!
Please forgive me if I dug myself a bigger hole than needed, but I am not well versed on HTML and my knowledge of website building is quite limited. I want to create a form where people can upload multiple files. Quite simple right? Well it's been the most difficult thing for me to do, and I have tried multiple options:
I have the eCommerce Standard Plan, and I refuse to pay $40 more to be able to get upload button from Webflow itself! Filecare did not work for me, because the free version only allows JPEGs, and I need PDFs or Word documents and the paid plan is out of my budget. I tried several other platforms but also had very low storage limit.
I ended up finding this video while researching: (https://www.memberstack.com/scripts/file-upload-field), and turns out that it worked very well for me. I was able to set up a Make.com account and follow the path to finally even receiving emails automatically from my forms. The upload goes directly to my Google Drive, and it works great. HOWEVER, as you can see on my website (https://www.archiologist.com/contribute#Article-Submission) The button says "Choose File" - I cannot add any more than one single file to the uploader. I have no clue at all on how to allow it to choose multiple files. I have added ms-multiple-files = true to the attributes, but it just doesn't work.
Can anyone please help me or give me some ideas as to how to make this work?
Thanks!

By the way this is on Webflow, thanks
Hi Maria, just wondering if you found a solution to this problem? going through the same thing at the moment!
Please does anyone know how to upload image files to google drive on make.com keeping the original file name?
For context, I am trying to batch process files and not knowing which ones have been processed (eg through a naming pattern like filename-processed) is/will be an issue.
Hey Haz B, you can set the filename to follow the pattern you want via the Google drive 'Upload file' module. Like shown in the make.com section of this memberscript tutorial.
But if this is not a form submission and the images come from a different database, could you explain what issue you are facing currently? If you have the filename in the database or from the source where you are getting the images, it is possible to set the filename as per your required pattern while you upload files on google drive via Make as well. Let me know if you are facing any issue on this front.
