I have a Google Form that I am using for a photo contest for my organization. When I try to download images, the program changes the names of the images from their original to a super long one. How can I avoid that?

Hi Andrew, when the user uploads a file and submits the response, the link to the uploaded files is recorded as a response for the file upload question. You can click on this link to access the files and download it one at a time. The file name will include the unique id for the form and the unique response id along with the name set by the user. You have subscribed to the file upload plan. You can set up your form to sync the uploaded files to your Google Drive. You can automatically rename the file to include the name or the email field from the form. Please note that only the files from the responses after the sync is setup will be synced to Google Drive. Sync to Google Drive https://formfacade.com/file-upload/google-forms-file-upload-sync-to-google-drive.html Rename synced file By default, the file name includes the unique id and the default name of the file. For example, PFxxxxxxx - <default_name>. If you map the name or email field in the Summary settings, the file name will include this field as well. For example, PFxxxxxxx - <email> - <default_name> It appears that you have deleted the email field that was mapped. Login to Formfacade > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Edit page click on the gear icon next to the form title > Form settings page will be displayed > click on the configure key fields icon in the bottom right corner next to the Save button > Summary settings page will be displayed > select the relevant fields for the name, email option and click Save.
