UpSheet Pro is the simplest way to attach files to Google Sheets™. Drop a document, image or PDF onto the cell it belongs to. The file is stored in your own Google Drive™, and the cell is marked with a paperclip icon and a yellow highlight, so everyone can see there is an attachment.

Stop chasing files across Drive, email and chat. Every document lives with the data it belongs to — searchable, shareable, and right where your team already works.

KEY FEATURES

• Drag & drop — drop any file onto a cell and it uploads straight to your Drive. Any file type.
• Table Mode (recommended) — attachments are bound to the row, so they follow your data when you sort, filter, insert or move rows.
• Simple Mode — attachments stay on a fixed cell reference (for example B5) when you don't need row tracking.
• Empty or filled cells — your existing cell text is never overwritten; the file list lives in the cell note.
• Several files per cell — up to 50 on one cell, up to 100 MB each.
• Search — find any attachment across the spreadsheet by file name, in seconds.
• Share with your team — let editors upload attachments too, with one click.
• Private by design — UpSheet can only see the files it creates and the spreadsheet you have open, never the rest of your Google Drive™.

GET STARTED IN 3 STEPS

1. Install UpSheet Pro from the Google Workspace™ Marketplace and allow access (needed to store files in your Drive).
2. In Google Sheets™, open Extensions → UpSheet Pro → Start here. A short guide opens on the right.
3. Click a cell, press Upload, drop your file in. Done.

Tip: in Table Mode, UpSheet reserves a hidden column A for row tracking, so start your own data in column B.

PLANS

Free — free forever, no time limit and no credit card. Every feature is included on 3 sheets: 3 spreadsheets, with attachments on one tab of each.

Pro Lifetime — $79, one-time payment, no subscription. Removes the 3-sheet limit: unlimited spreadsheets and tabs. Collaborators get Pro on the sheets you share with them. All future updates included. Pro unlocks automatically the next time you open UpSheet with the Google account you paid with.

All plans: up to 10 files per upload, 30 uploads per minute and 500 per hour.

SECURITY & STORAGE

Files are uploaded to a dedicated folder that UpSheet creates in your own Google Drive™ — one folder per spreadsheet. UpSheet does not keep copies of your files or the contents of your cells on its servers. It uses narrow Google permissions: only the files it creates and the spreadsheet you have open. To let teammates open attachments in a shared sheet, an admin can re-share the folder with editors ("Allow editors to upload"). So that everyone on the sheet can open an attachment from its cell, UpSheet sets each uploaded file and its folder to "Anyone with the link can edit". Anyone who has the link can open and change that file, so share attachment links with care, especially outside your organization.

TROUBLESHOOTING

"Sorry, unable to open the file at this time" or "Page Not Found" during install or first launch almost always means you are signed in to several Google accounts at once. Open an Incognito / InPrivate window, sign in with only the account you want to use, and open UpSheet Pro again.

The menu is missing or shows only "Help": refresh the page (Ctrl+F5 / Cmd+Shift+R).
