Can a Google Sheets file be opened with Mac Numbers?

[relztrah]

I have an Excel spreadsheet of household expenses that I saved as a Google Sheets file. I would like to share it with my wife who uses a Macbook Pro. Will she be able to open, read, edit and save while keeping it a Google Sheets file? I could do a test but I would like to know before I begin.

Follow-up question: If I share it in my Google Drive will she be able to make a desktop shortcut to it on her Macbook even thought the file is in my Google Drive?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

You can create a shared folder in Google Drive, place that file inside the folder, she can create a link on her desktop to that shared folder.

All of the Google suite of "office equivalent programs" are web based and can run on any platform.

You can absolutely share a file or folder with another person. You may not be able to do a "send to, desktop, create shortcut" for it but you can manually create a desktop shortcut "in the Mac way" by hand.

It actually makes a lot more sense for her to be using Google Drive as well, where the shared file would be resident, and constantly opening it from there rather than a desktop shortcut.
