Sharing Excel spreadsheets on the web with Dropbox
If you don't have a web server, you can use Dropbox – it's fast, simple and free. Publish your spreadsheets on the web without effort. If you don't want to upload a calculator to your blog, just link to it in your Dropbox.
The popular Dropbox file sharing service can be used as a free web server. There is no need for a complicated file transfer program, SpreadsheetConverter publishes your calculators and smart web forms directly on the web after conversion.
If you have a blog or website, it may be easier to link to the calculator in Dropbox than to upload it to your site.

Once you've published your spreadsheet on the web with Dropbox, you can:
- Attract visitors to your blog or website with a live calculator. For the best integration, use an iFrame.
- E-mail a link to the web spreadsheet to a friend. The calculator is accessible all over the web in your public Dropbox folder.
- Download the calculator to your iPhone, iPad or Android device. Use "Add to Home screen" to make a calculator permanently available on your mobile device.
