Smartsheet Integrates with Google Docs

Smartsheet integration with Google Docs is now available.  The integration enables any Smartsheet user to attach, import from, or export to Google Docs.

The Google Doc linking capability enhances one of our most popular features, the ability to attach files to rows and sheets.  Now, in addition to uploading Microsoft Office documents or other files to Smartsheet, you can attach Google Documents, Spreadsheets, and Presentations.  You can also open MS Word and Excel files already stored in Smartsheet as Google Docs – something that is useful if you’re at a computer that does not have MS Office installed.

Attaching Google Docs – How it Works

Smartsheet users now have an option from the attachments form to “Attach Google Doc”.  After clicking the button and choosing the Google Docs account you wish to access:

• You select the Google Doc you wish to attach
• The Google Doc appears in the list of attachments and can be opened by clicking on it

Import/Export between Smartsheet and Google Docs

Smartsheet users can now create a new sheet by importing a Google Spreadsheet as well.  Importing into Smartsheet enables you to stay with the familiar spreadsheet approach while taking advantage of additional work management features such as collapsible sub-tasks, row-level attachments and discussions, reminders and cross-sheet reports.  Smartsheet also supports the exporting of sheets to Google Spreadsheets.  It’s a one-click way to archive your sheets or to view your information in a more traditional spreadsheet format.

We hope you enjoy this integration with Google Docs.  We’ll continue to look for ways to work well with the tools our customers use to get work done.
