Dear all,

I used to share guest posting sites url with clients in a google sheet. But every time I create new sheet, It shows an error after few days. Error is "This file looks suspicious.
It contains links that might be used to download harmful software on your device.". That's why my client's throught, that there is something harmful in the sheet. 

What should I do to tackle it?

Unfortunately, this can be.

To avoid this, you can try to leave less data in the Sheet that would explicitly point to something. For example, if these are addresses then you can indicate only titles against them but not phone numbers, links, and email addresses.

Cheers!
