Choose by workflow

Focused Google Drive intake or a broader client portal

Both products can collect files, form answers, and uploader details. Their biggest differences are destination breadth, workflow depth, storage model, and price.

Choose SendToDrive

For focused Google Drive workflows

  • Google Drive is already your source of truth and you do not need a multi-cloud platform.
  • You want custom forms, answer-based routing, filename rules, and submission subfolders at a lower monthly price.
  • Uploaded file contents should travel directly from the uploader's browser to your Drive without SendToDrive keeping a file copy.
  • Signed webhooks, Google Sheets sync, or a lightweight team workspace cover your automation needs.

Choose File Request Pro

For broader document collection

  • You need native destinations across Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Dropbox.
  • Conditional logic, multi-page forms, automatic reminder sequences, and rejecting incorrect files are important.
  • You want a File Request Pro dashboard in addition to files synchronized to cloud storage.
  • Custom domains, SMTP, Salesforce, or more advanced user management justify the higher-tier plans.
