FAQ
Can the recipient open a file shared after compression normally?

- The recipient needs to extract the archive first.
- After extraction, the original spreadsheet file can be opened normally.
Why can’t I find the Share After Compression option?
- Make sure the current file is a spreadsheet, or make sure the selected file on the home screen is a spreadsheet document.
- Make sure you opened the Share menu instead of another sending option.
- If the option is still unavailable, check whether your account has an active membership benefit and update the app to a newer version before trying again.
Why is the file size change not very noticeable after compression?
- Spreadsheets with many high-resolution images or more embedded resources usually show a more visible compression result.
- Spreadsheets that mainly contain text and numbers may have less room for size reduction.
