Features include, but are not limited to, menu search, shuffle of questions for randomized order, limiting responses to once per person, shorter URLs, custom themes,{{cite web |title=More ways to build and share Google Forms |url=https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2014/09/more-ways-to-build-and-share-google.html |website=G Suite Updates |date=September 29, 2014 |access-date=December 12, 2016}} automatically generating answer suggestions when creating forms,{{cite web |title=Custom themes in Google Forms |url=https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2014/09/custom-themes-in-google-forms.html |website=G Suite Updates |date=September 2, 2014 |access-date=December 12, 2016}} and an "Upload file" option for users answering questions that require them to share content or files from their computer or Google Drive.

In October 2014, Google introduced add-ons for Google Forms that enable third-party developers to add new features to surveys,{{cite web |title=Add-ons for Google Forms |url=https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2014/10/add-ons-for-google-forms.html |website=G Suite Updates |date=October 23, 2014 |access-date=December 12, 2016}} while in July 2017, Google updated Forms to add several new features. "Intelligent response validation" is capable of detecting text input in form fields to identify what is written and ask the user to correct the information if wrongly input. Depending on file-sharing settings in Google Drive, users can request file uploads from individuals outside multi-option answers in a table. In Settings, users can make changes that affect all new forms, such as always collecting email addresses.{{cite web |first=Frederic |last=Lardinois |title=Google updates Forms with intelligent response validation, cross-domain uploads and more |url=https://techcrunch.com/2017/07/10/google-updates-forms-with-intelligent-response-validation-cross-domain-uploads-and-more/ |website=TechCrunch |publisher=AOL |date=July 10, 2017 |access-date=July 11, 2017}}{{cite web |first=Justin |last=Duino |title=Google Forms becomes more powerful w/ new Intelligent response validation, 'Checkbox grid' questions, more |url=https://9to5google.com/2017/07/10/google-forms-becomes-more-powerful-w-new-intelligent-response-validation-checkbox-grid-questions-more/ |website=9to5Google |date=July 10, 2017 |access-date=July 11, 2017}}

Users can analyze responses to their form using either the built-in analysis tools, or export them to a new or existing Google Sheets spreadsheet that updates as new responses are received. The built-in analysis tools allow for responses to be viewed individually or in summary. Alternatively, responses can be downloaded as a comma-separated values file.{{Cite web |title=Analyze form responses - Google Workspace Learning Center |url=https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9303167?hl=en&ref_topic=9296604 |access-date=December 13, 2022 |website=support.google.com}}
