The manual upload method
The standard manual method requires opening your browser, navigating to Google Drive, clicking New, choosing File upload, waiting for the file upload, and then double-clicking the file to open the matching Google editor. This works fine for occasional files, but becomes tedious when handling multiple attachments daily.
The SheetLaunch desktop method
With SheetLaunch installed, simply right-click any Excel, Word, PowerPoint, or CSV file in Windows Explorer and select SheetLaunch from the Open with menu. SheetLaunch handles the Drive upload securely behind the scenes and launches the appropriate Google Workspace editor in your browser automatically.
Can it reuse an existing copy?
Yes. Turning on file reuse in SheetLaunch enables the app to remember existing Drive copies for local files so repeated opens return to the existing document rather than cluttering your Drive with duplicates.
