Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to arrange to download the google sheet directly from the application, in order to be able to transfer it to an accountant for example.  
And on the free version.

You can export data from the builder if that’s what you are looking for. If you are looking to do it from the app, then I would just add a link to the google sheet and make sure it’s shared with the appropriate people.

Indeed, I took the expense report template application, and I would like to be able to download the excel file, through the application and not from the edit page, in order to send it to my company.

I think you can make the Sheet public, then construct a URL to allow people to download it.

I tried a “link” component and entered the url of the google sheet, it works fine, I will keep this option thanks for your help.  
Should I close the topic?

If it works for you then we can close this.
