Google Drive vs Dropbox: Which WordPress Form File Storage Is Better?

You’ve added a file upload to a WordPress form, and now those files are stacking up somewhere you don’t love. Every submission either lands on your web server or buries itself inside an email notification.

Neither spot is built for storing real files and two of the most popular fixes for such issues are Google Drive and Dropbox. Both can catch every file your form collects and tuck it into a cloud folder for you automatically.

Both Google Drive and Dropbox connect to WPForms as addons, and both lean on the same File Upload field to do their work. That makes for a clean comparison, as you can point the exact same form at either service and watch how each one stores what comes in.

8 Best Contact Form 7 Alternatives for WordPress (2026)

At WordCamp Asia 2026, Contact Form 7’s creator Takayuki Miyoshi announced that version 6.2 will be the final feature release. The plugin enters maintenance mode going forward, which means security patches and bug fixes only and no new features.

A successor project called Contactable.io is in the works, but it’s not expected until at least 2028. If you’ve been running Contact Form 7 on your site, that news probably changes the calculation. The good news is the WordPress form plugin market is crowded with strong alternatives.

This article walks through the best Contact Form 7 alternatives, ranked by overall fit for the kind of site that runs (or used to run) CF7. For each, I cover what the plugin actually does, what I liked, what it costs, and where it fits best.
