# Read a Google Sheet as a file

One Google Sheet from the caller's own connected account, rendered as ?format=xlsx (base64, the whole workbook) or ?format=csv (plain text). ?gid= names one TAB, which only csv can honour - an xlsx export already carries every tab. Reach for it once a sheet has been chosen and its rows are what you need; the import routes take it from there. Refuses over 64 MB rather than truncating, because a cut spreadsheet still imports and silently loses rows.

Access class: `workspace`.
