Share .xltx files
Share your XLTX file in one link
Drop your .xltx file, name the link and send it. They download the original in one click — no attachment limit, no shared-drive permissions, nothing converted along the way.
- One-click download of the untouched original
- No attachment limit, no 'request access'
- Replace it later and the same link shows the new version
Drop the XLTX file you want to share
Any other file works too — up to 25.0 MB, or 100.0 MB for a whole site
Why share a XLTX file as a link?
Spreadsheets carry formulas, formatting and sometimes macros — exactly what gets lost or flagged when you paste them or email them around. A link delivers the file as it is, one click to download, and when the numbers change you update the file behind the same link instead of sending 'final_v3'.
Usually you'd be sending it to a colleague, an accountant, a client or anyone who needs the numbers. They don't need an account, and you don't need to know which app or device they'll open it on.

On their side
What the person you send it to sees
They tap the link and the .xltx file (Excel template) downloads straight away, exactly as you uploaded it, ready to open in Microsoft Excel or whatever they use for .xltx files.
What they need
- Microsoft Excel
- LibreOffice Calc
- Google Sheets, with some formatting loss
- No account — the download starts from the link
Sending a XLTX file: link vs. the usual ways
What happens to a .xltx file when you email it, drop it in a chat or put it in a cloud drive — and what changes when you send a link instead.
Email attachment
Most mail providers cap attachments at roughly 20–25 MB, and every revision means another email.
Chat app
Chat apps can't show spreadsheets, and pasted tables arrive as a wall of tab-separated text.
Cloud drive
Drives open spreadsheets in their own editor, where formulas and macros may not survive, and readers need access first.
A 99helpers link
The original file, byte for byte, at a link you choose. Password it, see how often it's opened, and replace it at the same link whenever you need to.
Sharing takes about ten seconds
- 1
Drop it
Drag your .xltx file onto the box, or pick it from your computer or phone.
- 2
Name the link
Choose the words: q3-report.99helpers.site reads better than a random string.
- 3
Send it anywhere
Paste the link into an email, a chat, a document, a bio or a QR code.
When people share spreadsheets like this
Sending figures to an accountant
One link, no attachment limit, and the latest version every time.

Give a colleague the CSV from your system without a drive folder in between.
Handing out a template
A budget or tracker template people can download and fill in.
Publishing a dataset
A stable URL other tools can import from.
What people send .xltx files for
- Budget and forecast templates
- Expense claim and timesheet forms
- Reporting formats used across a team
- Data collection sheets
Before you share your XLTX file
- Delete hidden sheets, notes and columns you don't mean to share.
- Check for personal data — spreadsheets are where it tends to hide.
- For plain data, a CSV opens everywhere, even in a browser.
- Add a password for anything financial or confidential.
Sending the link isn't the end of it
An attachment is gone the moment you press send. A link is still yours: you decide who can open it, what it shows and how long it stays.
Fix it after sending
Upload a corrected version to the same link. Everyone who has it sees the new one; old versions are kept.
Keep it private
Add a password so only the people you give it to can open the link.
Know it was opened
See how many times the link has been visited, so you're not left wondering.
Take it back
Delete it and the link stops working — something you can't do with an email attachment.
Sharing XLTX files: questions
How do I share a .xltx file?+
Drop it on this page, choose the words for your link, and publish. You get an address like your-name.99helpers.site to paste into an email, a chat, a document or a QR code. Whoever clicks it gets the file as a download.
Does the person I send it to need an account?+
No account is needed. They click the link and the file downloads; to open it they'll need Microsoft Excel or another app that reads .xltx files.
Can I share an XLTX file privately?+
Yes. Add a password when you publish and only people you give it to can open the link. You can also ask for a name and email before the file is shown.
What if I need to change the file after sending the link?+
Upload the new version to the same address. Everyone who has the link gets the update, and the previous versions are kept in case you need one back.
Can I share several XLTX files at once?+
Yes. Drop a folder or a .zip instead of a single file and everything goes out under one link, each file at its own address inside it. How much you can upload depends on your plan — the limits are on the pricing page.
Will formulas and formatting survive?+
Yes. The file isn't opened or converted on the way — the reader downloads exactly what you uploaded, formulas and all.
Can I update the numbers after sharing?+
Yes. Upload the new version to the same address; the link doesn't change and the old version is kept.

If the file should stay at a permanent public address — a download page, an embed, part of a site — see host an Excel template (XLTX).
