Update Squarespace Forms with Google Drive
Learn how to reconnect your Squarespace forms to Google Drive smoothly.
What You Need to Know
Google has made changes that affect how Squarespace forms connect to Google Drive. If your forms store responses in Google Drive, you'll need to manually reconnect them to keep receiving submissions.
This guide shows you exactly how to reconnect your forms, whether they're regular contact forms, newsletter blocks, or promotional pop-ups.
Step 1: Disconnect from Google Drive
First, you need to break the current connection between Google Drive and Squarespace. This affects all your forms at once.
- Log into your Google Drive
- Click the gear icon in the top-right corner
- Select 'Manage Apps'
- Find Squarespace in the list
- Click 'Options' next to it
- Select 'Disconnect from Drive'
This disconnects Google Drive from all your Squarespace forms in one go.
Step 2: Reconnect Your Forms
Now you'll need to reconnect each form individually. The process varies slightly depending on where your forms are located.
Regular Forms and Newsletter Blocks
- Go to your Pages panel
- Edit the page that contains your form
- Double-click the form or newsletter block
- Click the 'Storage' tab
- Click 'Disconnect' (if it's not already disconnected)
- Click 'Connect to Google Drive'
- Give your new Google Sheet a name
- Save your changes
Repeat this for every form on your site.
Promotional Pop-ups
- Go to your promotional pop-up settings
- Select 'Action'
- Click 'Storage'
- Disconnect and reconnect to Google Drive
- Name your new spreadsheet
- Save your changes
Cover Page Forms
- Go to your Pages panel
- Select your cover page
- Click 'Action'
- Select 'Edit Form'
- Go to the 'Storage' tab
- Disconnect and reconnect to Google Drive
- Name your new spreadsheet
- Save your changes
Test Your Forms
After reconnecting, send a test submission through each form to make sure everything works properly. Check that new submissions appear in your Google Sheets.
Extra Tip
While you're updating your form storage, check if your Contacts panel is set up to store submitted email addresses. This lets you manage contact details directly from your Squarespace dashboard, giving you backup access to your data.
Common Questions
Will I lose previous form submissions?
No, your existing submissions stay safe in their current Google Sheets. The reconnection creates new sheets for future submissions.
Do new submissions go to a different Google Sheet?
Yes, reconnecting always creates a new Google Sheet. Your old submissions remain in the original sheet.
Do I need to do this for other storage options?
No, this only affects forms that store data in Google Drive. Forms using email-only storage or other options aren't affected.

Wrapping Up
Getting your forms reconnected properly means you won't miss any enquiries or newsletter signups. Take your time with each form and don't forget to test them afterwards.
The whole process might seem a bit tedious if you have lots of forms, but it's a one-time fix that keeps your data flowing smoothly.
