To view and edit CSV files without downloading them, you can use various online tools or cloud-based spreadsheet applications. Here's a general guide on https://converra.com/ how to do this:
Google Sheets (Requires Google Account):
Go to Google Drive (drive.google.com) and sign in to your Google Account.
Click the "+ New" button on the left-hand side and select "File upload."
Choose the CSV file from your computer that you want to view and edit.
After uploading, right-click on the file, go to "Open with," and select "Google Sheets."
The CSV file will open in Google Sheets, where you can view and edit it. Any changes you make will be automatically saved to Google Drive.
Microsoft Excel Online (Requires Microsoft Account):
Go to Excel Online (office.live.com/start/Excel) and sign in with your Microsoft Account (or create one if you don't have it).
Click on "Open Workbook" and select "Upload."
Choose the CSV file from your computer.
The CSV file will open in Excel Online, where you can view and edit it.
Zoho Sheet (No account required for basic usage):
Visit Zoho Sheet (sheet.zoho.com) in your web browser.
Click "File" and then select "Open."
Choose "Upload" and select the CSV file from your computer.
The CSV file will open in Zoho Sheet, allowing you to view and edit it.
Online CSV Viewer (No account required):
You can use various online CSV viewer websites like CSV Viewer Online (csvviewer.org) or OnlineCSVTools (onlinecsvtools.com/view-csv) to simply view and edit CSV files in your web browser.
Upload the CSV file, and these tools will provide a basic interface for viewing and editing the file.
Remember that when you use these online tools, the changes you make will usually be saved to their respective cloud services (Google Drive, OneDrive, Zoho, etc.), so you won't need to download the file separately. However, you may need an internet connection to access and edit the files using these online platforms.
