How to Open CSV Files Without Downloading?
We asked ourselves this question months ago; how to open CSV files without download
And now here we’re.
Recently, product development, analysis and marketing have started to go way out of our normal routine for us. The most valuable thing that I have experienced in Retable for 1 year was the endless genius ideas. Often the biggest problem would be that some features and ideas mean so much to us and the right time has not yet come to market them. Or there would be situations where we somehow couldn’t develop it when the time was right for us to market it. Yes, if you are a startup, it is extremely normal. And sometimes we did develop great features but could not market them well enough. This is really difficult. Competition is very strange and sometimes you have to waste time on thousands of things that you consider unnecessary. Because the competitors are really big and giving money to Google may not be that painful for them.
Anyway, that’s not the topic of this post. I would rather talk about something that excites us as the Retable team. We decided to develop a CSV viewer which just focuses on our needs. Yes a CSV viewer. A Chrome plugin that can run in your browser, does not require any login or download and helps you view and edit all your CSV files on the internet without downloading them. Nearly for 1 month, we’re using, trying and loving it. And now, we’re making it available to anyone who needs it for free on the Chrome Web Store.
Let me tell you how it works. If you install and activate the Retable CSV Viewer plugin on your Chrome, it automatically detects all CSV files on the websites you browse, and a small popup appears next to these CSV files, telling you that you can view the CSV with Retable. When you click the button, your CSV file will open in a new tab in your browser, even if you are not a Retable member, and you can quickly view and edit CSV files without downloading them to your computer. You can even download it if you want. Also, if there are CSV files that you don’t want to lose, you don’t have to worry about downloading them to your computer and not losing them. By keeping it directly in the cloud, you can save space and easily share it with your colleagues. Of course, you need to log into Retable to save and share but don’t worry, it’s easy too because you can log in directly with Google.

If you try it, please don’t forget to send me your comments. As a marketer, the thing I enjoy most is the things we don’t do out of concern to sell. Because it’s quite tiring sometimes. And this is one of them, I think it’s really benefit-oriented. Yes, mostly to me. 🤭
