We do this with an additional plugin that allows you to "use your google drive". There are 2 or 3 of such plugins in the WordPress plugins directory; the one we use integrates with Formidable Forms and gives you a new form item that handles the upload/download to Google drive automagically in the background. Just like dropping a regular upload field onto the form!
Might be an option to check out one of those plugins to see if the features help solve your case.

I would say though... it has to be worth you testing out any that you find (and I think there are only 2 or maybe 3 actively developed options in the WordPress add-new plugins directory). They all seemed fairly similar to me at the time, but in the end I made a choice based on which had most (or all) the options I needed. Especially for me was Formidable integration, well elaborated API with examples, and a comfortable/logical interface for the customer.
But to answer the 2nd part of your follow-up Q... The plugin we use does make available the URL of the uploaded files (or folder), and you could certainly attach the direct download link to an e-mail. The plugin has options to allow downloading files 1-by-1, or as a zip file. Fairly good feature set, and also a well documented API too, if you wanted to add hooks/etc... (Which you might need anyway, to get the email feature just right).

I don't know about the other moderators, but I do not remove posts to other products unless it's clearly a spam entry, but definitely not as a response to a legitimate question posed by a user looking for an answer to solve a problem.
Thanks for confirming that Victor.
In that case-- we have very good success with "Use-your-Drive | Google Drive plugin for WordPress", from wpcloudplugins
They have a section in their documentation called "Formidable Forms Integration"
Thank you!
