The GFORM file has been categorized as Data Files. It was designed by Google. Data Files consists of 1326 similar files. Google Drive Form appears on 6 operating systems as a functional file.

How to open GFORM file?
An often recurring problem with Google Drive Form is that GFORM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open GFORM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GFORM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Google Drive
In this case, you should first verify that the Google Drive application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Google Drive into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GFORM files.
Programs to open GFORM file
Remember to download programs supporting GFORM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Google Drive with GFORM files
If, despite the installed application, the GFORM file does not start in the Google Drive application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Google Drive application as the default for handling the GFORM file.
Step 3. Update Google Drive to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Google Drive program, it is possible that Google Drive Form requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Google Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GFORM file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GFORM file. Sometimes virus-infected GFORM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GFORM files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GFORM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Google, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GFORM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the GFORM file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the GFORM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GFORM to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
