Export to Sheets writes cards to a spreadsheet in your Google Drive, one row per card with its photos. It needs a linked Google account. See Linking Google.
Anyone with the link can open the folder, the sheet and the photos. The app shares its Drive folder that way so the photos can show in the sheet. Do not post the link anywhere you would not post the cards.

Exporting

1

Pick the cards

In Compose, tap the Export to Sheets icon at the top, tick the cards, and tap Export in the bar. On Published, tap Select first.
2

Add a timestamp photo, if you want one

Take a photo or Choose from your library. A photo of the cards with today’s date proves when you had them. It goes on the Timestamps tab.
3

Tap Export

The sheet counts through Preparing the sheet, Photo 3 of 20 and Writing rows. Stop ends the photo uploads. Export again to pick up where it stopped.
4

Open the sheet

Tap Open the sheet. Then choose Allow access at the top of the sheet, or the photos stay blank.
The camera and photo library behave as they do for a lot cover. See Building a lot.

What it creates

Cards tab

Exporting again

A card already in the sheet is updated in place. Its row is rewritten with the current price and condition. Its photos are not uploaded again. New cards are added at the bottom. Exported cards show Exported to Sheets and the time in Compose.

Notes

  • The app can reach only the folder and sheet it created. It cannot see anything else in your Drive.
  • If you delete or trash the folder, the next export makes a new folder and sheet and uploads every photo again. If you delete only the sheet, a new sheet is made in the same folder.
  • If you link a different Google account, the next export starts a new folder in that account. The old one stays where it was.
  • Deleting a card in DexFlip does not delete its row or photos from Drive. Delete them in Drive.
  • Uploads run one at a time, so a large batch takes a while. Keep the app open.
