Donwload Google Sheets

I would like to download a Google Sheet, I am using BP V6.4

I am using the user interface with Chrome and link of the Google Sheet, but Chrome asks for "user", "password" and a captcha is appearing.

What is the best approach to automate Google Sheets functionalities using Blue Prism without using UI?

Is there a more convenient means to replicate the functionalities provided by Ms Excel VBO in Blue Prism to Google Sheets?

Thanks

Many Ways:

1 - Ui Method:
 Create a reusable workflow to open the Google sheet in incognito/InPrivate mode of IE and download the sheet .
Once downloaded, use MS EXCEL VBO to do whatever you want.
Once done, reupload the sheet with replace option so that the ID remains same.

2- API Method:

Use the google sheet API to provided by Google
