FileDrop is a productivity suite to manage files, extract text, and process files. Available as an add-on and online web app, see our website for all the tools we provide.

FileDrop works as a file manager in your Google Sheets™, Google Docs™ and Google Slides™ providing an easy access to your recent uploaded files or your entire Google  Drive™.

⚠️Important note! Until the issue with using a Google Add-on when signed in with multiple Google accounts is resolved, use this app with only one signed-in Google account. You can also use it in the private or incognito mode tab or a single Chrome profile.

✅  With FileDrop you can insert and attach files to your Google Sheets™ cells by simply dragging files in the sidebar or click it to browse your computer. It will automatically add the name of the file in cells and create the link to the file in your Google Drive™.

🔥 New File Uploader in Google Sheets™: add files to the sidebar and drag and arrange files to change the order the files are added to your sheet with preview.

✅ You can upload in bulk or just one file, it supports any type of file, PDF, XLSX, DOCX, ZIP or images. The files are automatically saved to your Google Drive™ in the FileDrop folder. It keeps a file history so you can add files later on or you can even add files you already uploaded in your Google Drive™.
