How to Find Out Who Uploaded a Google Form

To ascertain who uploaded or created a Google Form, you can follow these steps:

Check the Forms Settings

#183; Open the Google Form.
#183; Click on the three vertical dots More in the top right corner.
#183; Select People with access in the drop-down menu.

This will reveal a list of individuals who have access to the form, including the owner.

View the Forms Activity

#183; If you have edit access, navigate to the Activity tab.
#183; Click on the three vertical dots in the Responses tab and select See activity log.

This can assist you in tracking responses, especially if you have access to email notifications.

Check the Google Drive

#183; If you have access to the Google Drive where the form is stored, locate the form file.
#183; The owner's name is typically displayed next to the file in Google Drive.
#183; Right-click on the form file and select More, then Info

This will display the owner and any collaborators.

Ask the Owner Directly

If you still cannot determine the uploader, the simplest approach is to ask someone who might know, such as a colleague or the person who shared it with you.

If you do not have access to the form or its settings, it might be impossible to find out who created it. The dashboard in Google Forms is typically limited to owners and collaborators.

If You’re the Form Creator

You can find the responses of your audience in the responses section. If you are not the creator, you won't have access to this dashboard, and it is very basic and limited.

Regardless, if you are not the creator, you won’t be able to find out who uploaded the form just from the form link.
