Sharing any document on the Internet is scary and requires a second thought. This is because we are all worried about privacy and data theft. As someone who works in media, I find privacy a significant concern. I have to take extra security measures, be it any documents or media files. I always share my documents on View only, but there are ways you can copy the data.
But for all those looking to protect their data and still share it, here is a guide on how to convert a Google Sheets document into a webpage easily.
Sharing Your Google Sheets, Publish Them
If you are still sharing your Google Sheets by email, then stop. Instead of sharing them the old way, you can now publish them. Yes, you can publish them, and Google will create a separate webpage. This webpage is accessible by the URL which is created when you publish your document.
By publishing the webpage, you can embed it into your website. You do not have to share the document with everyone manually. It also makes sharing more secure as you are not using your own IP address to host it.
1. Open Google Sheets and click on “File.”

3. In the next step, you can choose whether to publish the entire or part of the Google Sheets file.
4. To manage settings, you can click on publish settings.

6. To stop publishing, you can tap on Stop Publishing, and your document will be removed from the Internet.

1. Click on File, then on Downloads. Then tap on the “Web Page(.html).“
2. A zip file will be downloaded, and the files will be extracted from it.
