Hi everyone! I’m working on creating a social innovation resource app using Glide. I’ve organized all my interview summaries, insights, and frameworks into a Google Sheet that will serve as the app’s backend. Before uploading, I want to make sure the sheet is structured properly for Glide to read and display the information correctly. Since I’m on the free plan, I only get one Google Sheet upload, so I want to avoid any mistakes that could cause issues or extra costs. If anyone could take a quick look and share any feedback, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks! ---

You can always delete and reupload. It’s not a one shot deal. ---

When you upload your Google Sheet to Glide and view or refresh data in the Data Editor, Glide does not count these as billable “updates.” As Jeff said, you can just delete the uploaded data and re-upload a new version. However, based on your wording, I have to note that new free Glide plans **cannot** sync with external data sources like Google Sheets, Airtable, or Excel. For what this means for legacy free plans and external data sources, please see here. > **[Free plans and external data sources | Glide Help Center](https://help.glideapps.com/en/articles/10302527-free-plans-and-external-data-sources)** > > What happened to syncing data with external data sources on legacy free plans?

Thank you for your help. I appreciate you sending me the link. I have this screen shot and I am confused now on whether or not I have one shot at uploading a google sheet or non according to to your knowledge. ![Screenshot 2025-06-15 113451](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/8/88be98887d01086580d4a9e62b7caa64c4b087ff.png) ---

It’s just saying that when you create a new app, your google sheet data will be imported once into new glide tables and that data will not sync back to your google sheet. It’s only telling you that it won’t sync. Once you are building your app, you can import data into existing glide tables or new glide tables all you want. On paid plans, you can connect to a google sheet and have it continuously sync between glide and google. That sync option is not available on a free plan, so you have to resort to importing the data into glide tables. ---

ohhhhh. I think I understand. I can keep uploading a google worksheet to the same app, but not have it sync to one. ---

Correct
