Alternative Solution to Webflow's 10mb Form Limit Compatible with Box

Webflow, a popular web design and development platform, provides users with a form submission feature. However, one limitation is that Webflow has a 10mb file size limit for form submissions. This means that if a user tries to upload a file larger than 10mb through a Webflow form, it will not be accepted.

If you need to accept larger file uploads through a Webflow form and integrate with Box, an alternative solution is to use a combination of Webflow, Zapier, and Box. Zapier is a powerful integration platform that allows you to connect different apps and automate workflows.

Here's how you can set it up:

  1. Create a Webflow form: Use Webflow's built-in form builder to create a form that includes the necessary fields for your users to submit documents or files. Make sure to include a file upload field.

  2. Set up a Zapier account: Sign up for a Zapier account if you don't have one already. Zapier offers a free plan with limited features, as well as paid plans for more advanced needs.

  3. Create a Zap: In Zapier, create a new Zap. A Zap is a workflow automation that connects two or more apps. Select Webflow as the trigger app and choose the trigger event "New Form Submission."

  4. Connect your Webflow account: Follow the instructions to connect your Webflow account to Zapier. You will need to provide your Webflow API key, which can be generated in your Webflow project settings.

  5. Configure the trigger: Select the specific form in Webflow that you want to trigger the Zap for. Test the trigger to make sure Zapier is receiving data from your form.

  6. Choose Box as the action app: In Zapier, choose Box as the action app where you want to send the files. Connect your Box account to Zapier if you haven't done so already.

  7. Configure the action: Specify the folder in your Box account where you want the uploaded files to be saved. You can also customize the file name or add additional metadata if needed.

  8. Complete the set-up: Test the Zap to make sure the file is successfully uploaded to your Box account. Once you are satisfied with the results, enable the Zap to start the automation.

By following these steps, you can bypass Webflow's 10mb form limit and have larger files uploaded to Box seamlessly.
