Apologies in advance - I’ve tried searching but couldn’t find anything in here.

I’ve joined a community that provide updates and documentation via Google Sheets, Docs, etc. but when I try to open them on the browser on my iPhone (either Safari or Brave), I can’t edit them. As soon as I click on the Edit icon, I get a prompt to download the app.

I don’t have a Google account, nor do I use any of their services (consciously), so would like a way to open the documents in the MS Office equivalent (Word, Excel, etc.) so I can edit the documents successfully.

TIA.

    Thanks, that did the trick. A combination of removing /mobilebasic from the end of the URL and requesting the desktop version of the site opened the full document. Doesn’t really work well on a mobile screen, but in the odd occasions where I need to update a document quickly and on-the-go, this will work. Thanks a lot!
