Connect Scan to Sheets to Google Sheets

The app has two connection methods. Pick one below and follow only that path.

Choose from Google Drive

Sign in with Google, grant Drive and Sheets access, then pick or create a spreadsheet. The app talks to Google from your device. Use this when you want to browse Drive or skip sharing an app email.

What to prepare

A Google account that can open the spreadsheet.
Internet for sign-in and loading Drive files.
After Google Continue, search or create a spreadsheet, then choose a worksheet.

Sign in and authorize

On Connect, choose Choose from Google Drive, tap Sign in with Google, keep both Google Drive and Google Sheets selected, then tap Continue. Revoke later at Google Account permissions.

Google permission screen asking Scan to Sheets for Google Drive and Google Sheets access — Keep both permissions selected, then Continue.

Map columns if you need a form

After you pick a spreadsheet and worksheet, tap Edit column mapping if you need extra fields. Column names follow Google Sheets.

Sheet Configuration screen with column mappings for Time, Barcode, Quantity, Location, and Remark — Map each Google Sheets column to the field type the scanner should use.

Check that the connection worked

Connect should show the spreadsheet title. Send a test scan from Home. The row should appear in the selected Google Sheets tab.

Google Sheets with Time, Barcode, Quantity, and Location columns filled from scans — A successful connection writes scanned rows into the worksheet you selected.

Start scanning

Return to Home, scan a barcode or QR code, complete any form fields, then send. Need help? Support.

If something goes wrong

Sign-in cancelled or failed. Finish the Google screen and grant both permissions.
Spreadsheets could not be loaded. Check the network, then tap Try again.
No spreadsheets found. Create one in the app, or sign in with the account that owns the files.
The spreadsheet could not be opened. Confirm that account can edit the file, then pick it again.

Private sheet with app access

You do not sign in with Google. Share the spreadsheet with the app email shown in Connect as Editor, then paste the spreadsheet URL and tap Connect. The sheet can stay private — it does not need “Anyone with the link”.

What to prepare

A Google Spreadsheet you can share.
Permission to add an Editor in Google Sheets Share.
The full spreadsheet URL from the browser, then a worksheet to scan into.

Share the sheet with the app email

On Connect, choose Private sheet with app access. Copy the service-account email from the app, open Share in Google Sheets, add it as Editor, then paste the spreadsheet URL and tap Connect spreadsheet.

Map columns if you need a form

After Connect loads worksheets, pick a tab and tap Edit column mapping if you need extra fields. Column names follow Google Sheets.

Check that the connection worked

Connect should show the spreadsheet title. Send a test scan from Home. The row should appear in the selected Google Sheets tab.

If something goes wrong

Please paste your Google Spreadsheet URL. Paste the browser address for the spreadsheet.
That does not look like a Google Spreadsheet URL. Use a docs.google.com/spreadsheets link, not a Drive folder.
Could not load the spreadsheet. Confirm the app email was added as Editor, then connect again.
