Create .xlsx to google drive, and open browser google sheets

@ Can anyone tell me if App Sheet can...

1. Create a .xlsx file, this I have already done and can concatenate to field settings and the company name of the client.

2. open an external copy of created .xlsx, by [filepath] - Type File. - I can only get this by downloading a copy of the file created. This is where I am stuck, I need it to be able to open the created .xlsx file in Google Sheets, from the Google Drive location, but whenever I try to hyperlink the [filepath] I get errors.

Constant no file found, and a list of div open and closed statements.  I have tried naming the root path, tried not naming the root path.

Ideally I require it to 

1. Create a company folder, name of the company in appsheet_name/Files/:- this is what it does at the moment.

2. Name the activity as a folder, which I have the AppSheet creating for me.

3. Create an excel .xlsx file ready for the client/ user to input there data. this works as well, (yyyymmdd-name-ID.xlsx)

4 have an activity that can be selected to open the file.  This is where I can only get it to download, which to be honest is useless to me as I require the client/user to upload his information/ data/ text/ anything Excel/Google can take as a file and save it back in its place.  The only way I can see it ever doing this is if it loads the workbook via Google Sheets.  I can create and manually copy the URL into [filepath] this loads in the browser, but I want the app to be doing this, not me.  I have read about gettableFileURL but that does not work for sheets, has anyone ever thought of creating a getSheetFileURL??  

In short, does anyone know if AppSheet can do this?

I have made it do that, but when activity is triggered it downloads .xlsx file instead of opening up in broswer.  Any ideas on making it open it in google sheets?

Mmm, so you want to store this sheet in your google drive, and find a way that you open it in google sheets inside Appsheet, right? So that your users can update this only file instead of downloading it and work with different files, am I right? Is this what you want?
