Numbers will not open a Numbers file on Google Drive. I last save it 8th June. What could have happened and what can I do?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.4
I recommend saving on iCloud Drive instead of Google Drive.
If you must use Google Drive then you might try experimenting with the file format at File > Advanced > Change File Type to see if that works better.

First, I think you should choose which platform you intend to use most often for the document. If you are collaborating with others using google docs, then you should probably continue using GoogDocs going forward.
If you want to migrate from GoogDocs to Apple Numbers, then:
1) export the GoogDoc and download the document OR
2) copy the content from the GoogDoc to a new Numbers doc and save on your computer.
3) other options are also possible
If you share a little more of what you are trying to do it will help in framing a proper answer
Thanks.
I used a third party app to recover the numbers doc and exported to excel. I was recommended to use Google Drive by my tech but it does many strange things including not deleting a a folder. I will clean up my iCloud and use that.
I didn't expect Google Drive to have these sorts of glitches.
Thanks for your help.
