I have a group of 6 that I want to share a MS Excel spreadsheet with. Looking for a place online where I can upload the spreadsheet and they all can update it on a daily basis.
Also looking to upload some other project related documents but those can be Read Only.
What is the best options online. Currently looking at Google Docs/Drive. Any other options BBIers would recommend?
I don't know how this works since I am not the owner but through my job we have Office 365 and have Share Point which allows others to edit an excel spreadsheet at once. Not sure if they all need accounts or part of a certain domain but that is one way.
Depends how complex the excel sheet is, but I second Google Sheets (assuming there's no sensitive information).
Security wise, how is Google Docs/Drive? Will only the people I share the files with have access to them or is it like Zoom, where people can access that weren't invited?
That said, if you have complicated filtering and formatting, Sheets may not work. In that case, if you have a OneDrive account, you can simply share the Excel workbook.

Definitely better than Zoom and I believe you can set it so only people you share it with can access it.

No formatting or formulas. Just trying to track their daily progress on projects and only fields I need the group to update is the Comments sections.

What he said. Sheets is very easy to use among other users/ larger groups for projects. What you do for privacy is you create the project and you can specify the security/share settings. Think you can do it so that you can add people individually to give them different levels of access/ view ability, set it so that only you can share or allow access in editing and sharing so you will have say over all it is shared with if that’s what your worried about.
I used to prefer using google suite over MS in my old job, I always ahead to share data with multiple people and different organizations, it was just so much easier and seem less to do so than excel or anything MS.
