Google Forms is a survey and form-building tool within Google Workspace. It enables users to create forms, quizzes, and surveys with a range of question types, logic branching, file uploads, and response validations. Results are automatically collected in Google Sheets for analysis. Forms can be shared via links or embedded in websites and are commonly used for feedback, registrations, exams, and polls. Integration with other Google tools allows for automated workflows, such as email notifications and data visualization. It is widely adopted in education, events, and internal business processes.

Google Forms is blocked in mainland China. Users attempting to access or submit forms via links hosted on forms.google.com will typically encounter loading failures. This creates significant limitations for international collaboration, survey-based research, and event management involving Chinese participants. Chinese form-building alternatives include tools such as Wenjuanxing (问卷星), Tencent Forms, and Baidu Form. These platforms support similar question types and data export capabilities, though they often require user identification or mobile verification due to local regulations. Developers should note that embedded Google Forms will not function reliably on websites accessed from China. Alternatives offering embed-friendly capabilities include locally-hosted form tools or enterprise survey services integrated with mini-programs or local CMS. Additionally, privacy laws in China may impose restrictions on how user data is collected and stored, making it critical to choose compliant providers for any form-related functionality.
