how to share google sheets without gmail
IN SUMMARY
You can share Google Sheets without a Gmail account by creating a Google account with your existing email address or by adding an alternate email to your existing Google account. This allows you to collaborate on shared Google Sheets using your non-Gmail email address.
Create a Google Account Without Gmail
On the Google account sign-up page, click the 'Use my current email address instead' option. This will allow you to create a Google account using your existing non-Gmail email address.
Provide the email address you want to use with your Google account. This can be any email address from any provider, such as Outlook, Yahoo, or a custom domain.
Follow the prompts to complete the sign-up process, including setting a password and verifying your email address. Once completed, you'll have a Google account associated with your non-Gmail email address.
Add an Alternate Email to Your Existing Google Account
Visit accounts.google.com and sign in to your existing Google account, which may be associated with a Gmail address.
Navigate to myaccount.google.com/email and click on the 'Advanced' tab. Then, click on 'Add alternate email' and sign in again with your account credentials.
Enter your non-Gmail email address in the popup box and click 'Add.' You'll receive a verification link in that email address. Once verified, you can use that email address with your existing Google account.
Sharing and Collaborating on Google Sheets
When sharing a Google Sheet, you can enter the non-Gmail email address associated with your Google account or the alternate email address you added. The recipient will receive a sharing invitation and can access the sheet using their Google account.
If someone shares a Google Sheet with your non-Gmail email address, you can access and collaborate on the sheet by logging in to your Google account associated with that email address.
As the owner of a Google Sheet, you can manage sharing permissions, allowing others to view, comment, or edit the sheet as needed, regardless of their email provider.
