How do I see the owner of a Google sheet?

Published in Google Sheets Management 1 min read

To see the owner of a Google Sheet, you can easily find this information directly within the document, provided you have the necessary permissions.

Here's the straightforward method:

  1. Open the Google Sheet: Navigate to and open the specific Google Sheet you are interested in.
  2. Locate the Share Button: In the upper-right corner of the sheet, you will see a prominent blue "Share" button.
  3. Hover Your Mouse: Place your mouse pointer over this blue "Share" button.

Upon hovering, a small tooltip or pop-up will appear. This display will clearly show you the name of the owner of the Google Sheet, along with the number of people with whom the document is currently shared.

This method is effective if you are authorized to view the sharing details of the document. If the sheet has specific security settings or if your access is limited, you might not see the owner's name.
