Host an Excel spreadsheet as a link.
Drop your .xlsx and get a URL. The recipient downloads the workbook from a clean page and opens it in their own spreadsheet software, everything intact.
Key points
- Upload an Excel spreadsheet, get a public link, share it. The recipient downloads the workbook in one click.
- Every sheet, formula, and formatting choice arrives exactly as you saved it.
- A link beats an attachment: no mailbox size limit, no version confusion, and you can replace the file without resending.
- Free with no signup; 25MB per file covers spreadsheets up to roughly 200k rows.
Excel files are awkward to send. They trip mailbox size limits, they arrive in threads as four indistinguishable versions, and corporate filters love to quarantine them. A link fixes the delivery. Drop the .xlsx here and the recipient gets a clean page with the filename and a download button; one click and the workbook is theirs to open in Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice.
If the audience only needs to read a summary rather than work the numbers, a PDF travels better. Export the key sheet to PDF and put a PDF online; that link opens in the browser with no download and no spreadsheet software at all. Pick XLSX hosting when the recipient needs the live workbook; pick the PDF route when they just need to see the result.
Hosting matters in a few specific cases: sending a model to a client who shouldn't be able to edit it by accident, sharing data with a journalist who's on a phone, or needing a permanent URL that doesn't disappear from a Slack DM after the workspace retention window. Each of these is a NudgeHost-shaped problem, and the same uploader that lets you host a file handles the PDFs that travel alongside the XLSX, and you can put a Word doc online from the same dashboard.
Ten active links on the free plan, free with no signup. Excel files that exceed 25MB usually have embedded images or pivot tables built on millions of rows; for those cases the Pro plan's higher ceiling is the path. If you want the spreadsheet to expire after a deal closes, link expiry is a one-click setting in the dashboard.

Try it freeFrequently asked questions
Will formulas work when the recipient opens the file?
Yes. They download your original workbook, so formulas recalculate normally in their own spreadsheet software.
Does the recipient need Excel?
They need something that opens .xlsx: Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, or LibreOffice all do. For a read-only summary nobody has to open in a spreadsheet, export to PDF and host that instead.
How big a spreadsheet can I upload?
25MB on the free plan. That covers spreadsheets up to roughly 200k rows. Higher on paid plans.
Do all sheets in the workbook survive?
Yes. The file arrives byte-for-byte as you saved it: every sheet, formula, pivot table, and formatting choice included.
