How Do I Give Access to Everyone in Google Sheets?

Published in Google Sheets 2 mins read

You can grant access to everyone in Google Sheets by making your spreadsheet publicly viewable or editable.

Here's how:

1. Sharing Settings

  • Open the Google Sheet you want to share.
  • Click File > Share.
  • In the "Share with others" section, click the "Get shareable link" button.
  • Choose either "View" or "Edit" access:
    • "View" allows others to see your spreadsheet but not make changes.
    • "Edit" allows others to view and modify your spreadsheet.
  • Copy the generated link.
  • Share the link with anyone you want to give access to.

2. Publicly Viewable

  • Open the Google Sheet you want to share.
  • Click File > Share.
  • In the "Share with others" section, click the "Get shareable link" button.
  • Under "Who has access", click the "Change" button.
  • Select "Anyone with the link can view" or "Anyone with the link can edit".
  • Click "Save".

3. Publicly Editable

  • Open the Google Sheet you want to share.
  • Click File > Share.
  • In the "Share with others" section, click the "Get shareable link" button.
  • Under "Who has access", click the "Change" button.
  • Select "Anyone with the link can edit".
  • Click "Save".

Remember: Be cautious when making your spreadsheet publicly accessible, as anyone with the link can view or edit it.
