Hi bro,

I really don't understand your guiding. Could you help to show it in bigger photo and in English (not France or Spanish as your photo) ?.

1. In the Excel file opened in the web browser, click "Editing" > "Open in Desktop App".


2. Click "File" > "Info" > "Copy Path".



That said, the icons in the screenshots are the same and are independent of language.
