To create your Sheetgo automations, your file(s) must be stored online. If you have Excel spreadsheets saved to your computer, you must save and sync them to the cloud before you can use Sheetgo.
If you're a Microsoft user, that means your files must be saved to OneDrive or SharePoint. Syncing a file to the cloud creates an online mirror of the file in your online storage. When you edit the local file on your computer, changes will be mirrored in the online copy automatically.
Once it's saved to the cloud, the online copy can be accessed from anywhere, at any time and you can connect it to an automated Sheetgo workflow.
Save an individual Excel file to OneDrive
You can save an Excel file to OneDrive manually.
Open the Excel file and go to File > Save > Save as > OneDrive.
Inside the Excel file, you will see the AutoSave button in the top-left corner of the screen. If this is switched on, it indicates that changes to the file are being saved, or backed up, in OneDrive.
Sync local Excel files to OneDrive automatically
The Microsoft OneDrive sync app allows you to sync your local files to the cloud, backing up desktop files and folders automatically.
