How to open GSHEET file?
The most common problem when using Google Drive Spreadsheet is that a specific GSHEET is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open GSHEET, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GSHEET file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Google Drive
The first step is to check if the computer has the Google Drive program installed. This can be achieved by typing Google Drive into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file GSHEET.
Programs to open GSHEET file
Remember to download programs supporting GSHEET files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Google Drive with GSHEET files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GSHEET file still does not use the Google Drive program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GSHEET file with the Google Drive application.
Step 3. Update Google Drive to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Google Drive program, it is possible that Google Drive Spreadsheet requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Google Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GSHEET file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The GSHEET file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the GSHEET file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GSHEET file. Sometimes virus-infected GSHEET files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GSHEET file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GSHEET file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Google help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GSHEET except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move GSHEET to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GSHEET file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GSHEET file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
