How do I share an Excel spreadsheet as a link?
To share an Excel spreadsheet as a link, upload the .xlsx or .xls file above, sign in with Google for free, and copy the short link. Anyone who opens it sees a read-only table in their browser, one tab per sheet, showing the values Excel last saved. They need no Excel, no app and no account, and the link never expires.
Every sheet keeps its tab
A workbook with a summary and twelve monthly sheets stays one link. The sheet names appear as tabs above the grid in the same order as in Excel, and the reader switches between them with a tap. No exporting each sheet, no screenshot of the one that matters.
This is a viewer, not a shared workbook. Nobody with the link can type into a cell, re-sort the data or break a formula, and your original file is untouched. Leave downloads on if they should get the XLSX too, or switch the link to view-only.
Prices change and reports get a new month. Replace the file from your dashboard and the same link, and the same QR code, show the new workbook. Nobody works from last quarter's copy sitting in their inbox.
What an Excel link will not do
It does not recalculate or let anyone edit. Cells show the values saved in the file, and nobody can type, filter or sort in the shared copy.
Charts, pictures and cell colors are not drawn. The preview is a clean data grid; conditional formatting and merged-cell layouts stay in the file. Share a PDF or PNG of a chart if the chart is the point.
Very long sheets are trimmed in the view. Each sheet shows its first 1,000 rows and 60 columns with a note saying so; allow downloads if the reader needs every line.
How it works
1
Save the workbook one last time
Press save in Excel after your final edit so the latest formula results are stored in the file. If the workbook has an open password, remove it and use the link's own password instead.
2
Upload it and sign in free
Drop the .xlsx, .xls or .csv on the upload card and sign in with Google, one tap and no card. Free covers files up to 250 MB, Pro up to 500 MB.
3
Copy the link and send it
Paste it into an email, WhatsApp or Slack, or download the QR code for print. Add a password, an expiry date or view-only from the link's settings whenever you need them.
Opens in any browser, no Excel needed
An Excel attachment opens differently everywhere. A phone preview may show only the first sheet, a Chromebook pushes it into Google Sheets, and a Mac without Office opens it in Numbers with the columns shifted. A link gives everyone the same view. The workbook is read straight from the file in the browser and drawn as a table, with the first row pinned while you scroll and row numbers down the side. Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox all work, with no Microsoft account, no Office license and nothing imported into another app.
Formulas show their results, not their code
Cells show what Excel displays: the total from =SUM(B2:B40), dates as dates, prices with their currency symbol and percentages as percentages. The formulas themselves stay inside your file, which is usually what you want when you send a quote or a forecast to a client. The viewer never recalculates, it shows the result Excel stored when you last saved. So press save in Excel after your final edit. A file written by a script or export tool without stored results can show blank or stale cells; open it in Excel, save, and upload again.
XLSX, old XLS and CSV files
Modern .xlsx workbooks and old Excel 97 to 2003 .xls files both preview as tabbed tables, with no conversion first. Macros are never run. A .csv file is shown as a table too, splitting on commas, with values kept exactly as written, so leading zeros and long ID numbers stay intact. Save CSVs as UTF-8 so accented names display correctly, and use commas rather than semicolons. CSV files up to 2 MB render inline and show their first 1,000 rows; a larger CSV still uploads and is offered as a download.
View-only link or an editable workbook?
If several people need to type into the same sheet at the same time, a shared workbook in OneDrive or Google Sheets is the right tool, and what each person can do there depends on the permission you pick. Google Sheets' Publish to web also exists, but it needs the file converted into a Google Sheet first. An Excel link here solves a different job: sending finished numbers to people who only need to read them. It is a read-only copy of the exact file you uploaded, nothing is converted, and a wrong click cannot hand out edit rights.
Password, expiry and tracking for sensitive numbers
Price lists, salary bands, budgets and sales reports are not for everyone. Every plan lets you add a password, set an expiry date so a quote stops working when the offer ends, and switch the link to view-only so the download option disappears. The email gate asks for the reader's address before the table opens, and the analytics count each open with device and country, so you know whether the client looked at the price list before the call. View-only cannot stop a screenshot, so treat it as friction, not copy protection.
Update the spreadsheet, keep the same link
An Excel link is a snapshot of the file you uploaded, not a live sync with your copy in Excel or OneDrive, so editing the workbook on your computer does not change what readers see. When the numbers change, open the link in your dashboard and replace the file. The URL, the QR code and the view history stay the same, and everyone who has the link sees the new figures on their next visit. Every plan also keeps the last 5 versions, so you can roll back if a new upload had a mistake.
On a phone, on paper, or on your site
On a phone the grid runs edge to edge, wide sheets scroll sideways and a fullscreen button gives the table the whole screen. Every link also has a downloadable QR code for a printed price list, a shop counter or a class timetable, and because the code points at the link, replacing the file updates what every printed code opens. To show the table inside your own site or intranet, copy the iframe code under Embed on your site in the link's Sharing tab; the password, expiry and view-only settings still apply there.
Set an end date or a view cap and the link stops on its own. Send a quote that expires Friday, or a preview that closes after five opens, without remembering to delete it.

What people say
In their words
“The admin interface is incredibly intuitive and set up exactly how a user actually thinks. My students all said it was easy to use and worked perfectly.”
JJasonTeacher · shares class materials
“The app is genuinely nice and easy to handle. I keep all my different app links in one place, my App Store and Play Store screenshots, and I organise my images and PDFs into albums with tags. The big storage means everything just lives here.”
EEvelynApp developer
“I handle contracts, invoices and legal files for several different organisations, so almost everything I send is password protected. Link in Seconds makes that simple, and I run my portfolio on a custom domain. It is easy to use and genuinely affordable.”

No. They see a read-only table of the file you uploaded. Nobody can type into a cell, sort, filter or change a formula, and your original file is untouched. If several people need to edit together, use a shared workbook in OneDrive or Google Sheets instead.
No. The link opens in any current browser on a phone, tablet, Chromebook or computer, with no Microsoft account, no Office license and no sign-up. Only you, the uploader, sign in, with a free Google account.
Yes. Every worksheet appears as a named tab above the grid, in the same order as in Excel. Each sheet shows its first 1,000 rows and 60 columns, with a note when there is more; allow downloads if the reader needs the full file.
The values. Each cell shows the result Excel stored the last time the file was saved, formatted the way Excel displays it: currency, dates and percentages included. Formulas stay inside the file and nothing is recalculated, so save in Excel after your final edit before uploading.
The numbers and their formats do. The preview is a clean data grid, so charts, images, cell colors, conditional formatting and merged-cell layouts are not drawn. They stay in the file if you allow downloads. Share a PDF or PNG of a chart if the chart is what matters.
Yes. A CSV up to 2 MB shows as a table with its first 1,000 rows, values kept exactly as written, so leading zeros and long IDs stay intact. Save it as UTF-8 with commas as separators. Larger CSV files still upload and are offered as a download.
Free covers files up to 250 MB each, and Pro up to 500 MB. Even very large workbooks rarely reach that, but remember the browser view shows the first 1,000 rows of each sheet.
It is unlisted and not indexed by search engines, so only people you send it to can open it. It never expires on any plan unless you set an expiry date. For sensitive numbers, add a password or the email gate, both free.
You see every open, with the time, device and country, free on every plan. The count does not tell you a person's name; turn on the email gate if you need each reader's email address before the table opens.
Yes. Replace the file from your dashboard and the same link and QR code show the new figures. Editing the workbook on your computer or in OneDrive does not update the link by itself; you upload the new file. Earlier versions are kept so you can restore one.
