What keeps me from using Gmail products is the fact that anytime I try to log in from a computer that itsn't mine, it locks me out despite the fact that I've given the correct password. I don't have a static phone number because I don't always pay for phone service. I only do so periodically. Is there a way I can use google drive where my password alone will be enough to log in ANYWHERE?
How to access a Google sheet via an "anybody with the link can access" kind of link without signing in one of my Google accounts?

EDIT : it turns out that the Google Sheet owner, from his own admission, made a mistake - no clue what mistake - when reassigning permission to "anybody with the link can access". After his correction, I now don't have any problem accessing it directly, whether or not I am logged as a Google Account owner. End of story. I'll probably delete this thread today since it is now completely baseless.
Regardless of how I try, even in incognito mode, Google insists on forcing me to sign into one of my Google accounts if I want to access a Google Sheet, whose owner has, however, set permission to "anybody with the link can access". It seems that Google does not want Google account owners to avoid signing in in this context. It implies that they detect Google account owners by their IP and, incidentally, that they file and log Internet users' activities by their IP. Which is not surprising.
If I use a proxy server, Google displays an alert asking me to enter an email address, which reveals to be a first step in creating a Google account, but then refuses to validate it ("Sorry, we could not create your Google Account."). Hé hé... clever Google....
So is there a way to collaborate anonymously to a Google Sheet/Doc whose owner dispatch a "anyone with the link can access" link? and if so, please describe it!
Hi spreadsheet experts,
I'm excited to share Tablesmith, a web-based spreadsheet automation tool that prioritizes both privacy and ease of use. Unlike complex tools, Tablesmith processes your data entirely on your local device, and you can be up and running in just 15 minutes.
Think of it as a much simpler Power Query with a focus on data pipeline(ETL). Currently, it supports data import from CSV and XLSX files, and export to CSV, XLSX, and JSON formats.
Tablesmith was designed with mobile users in mind, which is why the intuitive interface makes it a breeze to learn and use.
Here are some helpful videos to get you started, you can also find them on the website:

I need a spreadsheet to organize some MMO raid nights and I'd like to avoid doing it on Google Docs if possible. Is there a good alternative for online shared spreadsheets that's FOSS or at least respectful of me and my group's privacy.
EDIT : Ended up going with cryptpad.fr, seems quite good so far. Thanks for the many suggestions.
