Upload Attachments From Google Drive

Spreadsheet.com supports attachment file imports from Google Drive and other services.

With the Attachment data type, files can live in cells just like other data. And with attachment uploads, you can keep your team's files in Google Drive and attach them into Spreadsheet.com as needed.

To upload an attachment from Google Drive, you must first set a cell, range of cells, or column to the Attachment data type and then link your Google Drive account to Spreadsheet.com.

How to Link Your Google Drive account

After you have set a cell, range of cells, or column to the Attachment data type, you can then link your Google Drive account to Spreadsheet.com. Linking your Google Drive account allows you to navigate your Google Drive files and chose ones to upload.

To link your account, choose to add an attachment by clicking on the Add attachment button in an attachment cell.
