How to open an .xlsx file online

    Go to mycloudsuites.com/apps/sheets in Chrome or Edge and sign in.

  2. Open your workbook

    Choose File › Open and pick the .xlsx file on your computer.

  3. Edit

    Change cells and formulas, sort and filter, or add a chart from Insert.

  4. Save

    Choose File › Save. Your browser may ask you to allow saving changes to the file.

The files it opens

  • Excel workbooks (.xlsx)
  • Older Excel 97–2003 workbooks (.xls)
  • Binary workbooks (.xlsb)
  • Macro-enabled workbooks (.xlsm): macros kept, never run
  • Text files (.csv)

Your workbook stays yours

Many online spreadsheet viewers upload your file to their servers. Cloud Sheets doesn't. The browser opens the workbook from your computer and saves it back there, just like a desktop app.

It's stored with MyCloudSuites only if you choose to save it there with MyCloudSuites Plus.
