You can send specific invites, or just create a link to share. The sharing settings available on Google Sheets are incredible – you have control over who can see your document, who can edit it, and who can comment on it. Microsoft is working harder to create a more collaborative experience for their suite of Office apps, but it doesn’t quite beat the seamless sharing that came with Google Docs, Sheets, and so on from day one. However, if you just need to create simple spreadsheets with a small selection of commands, Google Sheets is just as good. If you need a headache-free experience to access and manage thousands of cells of data, Excel is the winner. Google Sheets is well optimized up to a point – as your sheet fills with more columns, rows, and tabs of data, I’ve found it to start slowing down in comparison to Excel. However, if you need more advanced functions or you’ll be working with massive amounts of data, I’ve found that Excel is more suitable.
