Hit the Google Spreadsheet Limit
Submitted by todd on Mon, 2008-05-26 18:04
I think I may have hit the practical row limit for the Google Spreadsheet. I've been using it to note freeware, Open Source, and free web services to test and note here for a while now... a bit less than two years. For the past few weeks, I've been having problems loading this spreadsheet with a bit less than 700 rows if I remember correctly (I can't load it at the moment). It has been stalling out at row 200 as you can see from my screen segment capture. I'll probably switch to Zoho's spreadsheet or Creator (database product) to replace Google Sheets. Any other recommendations for a free web-based spreadsheet or simple database product?
Todd, I had the same problem.
Todd,
I had the same problem. According to this link, the problem is to do with offline access to the spreadsheet using Google Gears. If you disable the offline access, you'll be able to get more than 200 rows again.
But, yes, very annoying.

Dan: Thanks for the tip! That
Dan: Thanks for the tip! That makes sense. I just tried using Google sheets on a Mac without Google Gears installed and it loaded the nearly 700 rows. FYI to others, Google Gears removal information is found in this Google FAQ item: How do I uninstall Google Gears?
