  • No login for recipients
  • Replace the file anytime

How to do it

  1. 1. Export the sheet

    Save a CSV from your spreadsheet tool.

  2. 2. Upload the CSV

    Drop the CSV on drophost Free within 2 MB and copy the direct HTTPS download link.

  3. 3. Skip the permission maze

    Recipients download the file without requesting Drive access.

Avoid permission ping-pong

Shared drives create access tickets when someone sits outside your org. A drophost link is a file URL, not a folder ACL—teammates and contractors download immediately. That keeps data handoffs moving when a Sheet permission request would stall the week.

Keep size in mind

Small CSVs go out in seconds on Free’s 2 MB project cap. Larger exports fit on Starter (€5/mo or €50/yr) or Pro (€12/mo or €120/yr) when you need more room or multiple active datasets. Split oversized dumps before upload if you want to stay on Free.

Refresh without a new link

Replace the CSV on the same project when numbers update so dashboards, tickets, and email threads keep the original path. Gate internal customer exports with a password on paid plans. Links stay until you delete the project.
