CSV to Google Sheets is a small Chrome extension built for one job: opening CSV files in Google Sheets without the manual upload and import flow. This page explains how it works in plain English.

What the extension does

When you pick a CSV file in the popup, the extension uses the Google Sheets API to create a new Google Sheet from that file in your Google Drive. It then opens the new Sheet in a new tab. That's the entire core workflow.

Google access

To create a Google Sheet in your Drive, the extension needs you to authorize access via Google Sign-In. The scopes requested are the minimum required for this — the extension only creates the new Sheet. It does not read, modify, or delete other files in your Drive.

You can disconnect Google access at any time from the extension settings (Disconnect Google Account). You can reconnect later whenever you need to use the extension again.

Tracking and data collection

The extension is designed to run locally in your browser. It does not include analytics, advertising trackers, or third-party telemetry. CSV contents are sent directly to the Google Sheets API to create the Sheet, and are not routed through any other server.

What gets stored

The extension stores small pieces of local state in your browser (for example, your sign-in token reference, a counter for time-saved estimates, and recent settings). This information stays on your device.

Trademarks
