1. A system, comprising:
- at least one forms service computing device controlled by a forms service provider, the forms service computing device executing code to produce a user interface for the forms service on a user interface on a user computing device allowing access to the forms service computing device, wherein the forms service computing device has a forms service account authentication;
a user computing device in communication with the forms service computing device, the user computing device to display the user interface from the forms service computing device, the user interface to receive forms service account credentials through the user interface on the user computing device to allow the forms service computing device to authenticate a user and allow a user to access to the forms service computing device; and
at least one file service computing device controlled by a file service provider, wherein the file service computing device is in communication with the forms service computing device, the forms service computing device providing access to the file service computer device through the user interface provided by the forms service computing device to upload, download and store completed forms on the file service computing device for access without the form service computing device based upon user inputs from the user through the user interface, and the forms service computing device executes code to provide the user interface displayed on the user computing device to receive file service account credentials for the file service account authentication of the user to the file service computing device, wherein the file service account authentication occurs as one of either setting up a file service account for the user, or linking to an existing account for the user, the file server computing device to send a response to the user through the user interface provided by the forms service computing on a user computing device, and file service account credentials for the user are different from the forms service account credentials for the user, the forms service computing device to receive input through the user interface to create a form and then to store the form on the file service computing device.

1. A system, comprising:
-
at least one forms service computing device controlled by a forms service provider, the forms service computing device executing code to produce a user interface for the forms service on a user interface on a user computing device allowing access to the forms service computing device, wherein the forms service computing device has a forms service account authentication; a user computing device in communication with the forms service computing device, the user computing device to display the user interface from the forms service computing device, the user interface to receive forms service account credentials through the user interface on the user computing device to allow the forms service computing device to authenticate a user and allow a user to access to the forms service computing device; and at least one file service computing device controlled by a file service provider, wherein the file service computing device is in communication with the forms service computing device, the forms service computing device providing access to the file service computer device through the user interface provided by the forms service computing device to upload, download and store completed forms on the file service computing device for access without the form service computing device based upon user inputs from the user through the user interface, and the forms service computing device executes code to provide the user interface displayed on the user computing device to receive file service account credentials for the file service account authentication of the user to the file service computing device, wherein the file service account authentication occurs as one of either setting up a file service account for the user, or linking to an existing account for the user, the file server computing device to send a response to the user through the user interface provided by the forms service computing on a user computing device, and file service account credentials for the user are different from the forms service account credentials for the user, the forms service computing device to receive input through the user interface to create a form and then to store the form on the file service computing device.

2. A computer-controlled method, comprising:
-
receiving, at a forms service computing device, user credentials for a forms service from a user through a user interface on a user computing device; authenticating, using the forms service computing device, the user from the user credentials; providing a connection to a file service computing device, from a user interface provided by the forms service computing device; receiving, at the forms service computing device, user credentials for the file service received from the user through the user interface on the user computing device, wherein the user credentials for the file service are different from the user credentials for the forms service; transmitting the user credentials for the file service to the file service computing device, from the forms service computing device, from the forms service device as one of either setting up a file service account for the user, or linking to an existing account for the user; receiving a response from the file service computing device about user authentication at the file service computing device; communicating the response to the user through the user interface on the user computing device; receiving inputs through the user interface to the forms service computing device to create a form; receiving an input indicating that the form is complete; and performing at least one of uploading, downloading and storing the form on the file service computing device for access without the forms service computing device. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6)
