Dear Anyone.

Am making my own, very first ever website in Google Classic SItes (cos that's the one my friend wanted to use, don't ask, I know it's so old the bugs get eaten by the Web-based spiders!) What I want to do - and if there's a way to do this in Google Forms,. tell me but a day's frustration tells me there isn't - is have a form with a heading and a nicely-boxed area for someone to type data into.  So I can say 'Hi! Tell me a little about yourself.' And there's a nice box with a border around it for them to type into, and the border extends a bit if they get carried away.  You know the kinda thing.  Thing IS - I want the information from that, after they click SUBMIT or SEND or whatever, to go into a folder on my Google Drive, not into a folder on someone else's cloud.  Which is why I'm not thrilled about using Jotform or the like - all your info's stored on their computers. 

Is there a program I could download and install into Windows 10 on my PC which would let me design a form, then save it in a format - might need help about formats because this is getting beyond what I actually understand - I could add to my website by some magical means you might have to tell me about as well (sorry, am a NOOB here!) so people could type into it, click SEND/SUBMIT and it gets sent to a Google Drive folder I've set up?  I know Google Forms DOES this, but you don't seem to be able to do text boxes or anything with Google Forms, it just gives you one long line of text you can type. 

If there's a way - remember this is Google CLASSIC sites, not the new version - to do textboxes in Google Forms and someone can tell me how to do it, that's wonderful.  If there ISN'T - and I'm beginning to really think there isn't - a way to do it - is there any software I could use on my PC to create the form and then embed it in my site afterwards? If I created a file on my PC with this mythical software, and stored it on Google Drive, could I link it using HTML to a sentence in my website? So someone could click on 'Click HERE to say Hallo', then get taken to the form, fill it in, click SEND, a copy of the form with their data on gets stored in my Google Drive and the version in my website gets blanked, ready for the next sucker? Er - user?

All answers will be tried - it sounds SOO simple but I've been batting my head against this one for about 15 hours straight and no joy. 

Yours respectfully

Chris

No.

If you want a form on your site you need to download a ready made form with its attendant validation and processing scripts of you need to learn how to code it yourself.

Google forms might be able to do this but I don’t think you can embed the form on your site. Never used the things so could be wrong.

if you want to store the submitted data on Google Drive you will need some sort of API. But it’s unlikely Google will let you do this as it’s a huge security risk.

And finally, forms are more than HTML, you need PHP, JS, CSS to make it all work.
