This week we will be looking at the E-mail in feature of Zoho Docs and how it functions.

What is the Email-In feature?

Email-in feature allows you to mail files directly from your existing email accounts directly into Zoho Docs, without having to log into your Zoho account. This will also save you the effort of downloading your mail attachments onto your desktop and then uploading it into Zoho Docs.

How it works?


When you choose to use the email-in feature, Zoho Docs provides you with a secure email address. This email address can be used to send your documents directly to Zoho Docs, from your existing email accounts such as yahoo mail, gmail etc. You can also use this secure email address to upload scanned documents directly from your printer to Zoho Docs.

Steps to get the secure email address for the Email-In feature are given below:

1. Click on the Shared Externally option under the Favorites section
2. In the page that is displayed you will see the Email-in button at the top right hand side just above the file list
3. When you click on the Email-in button, a pop-up will appear, where you will find the secure email address
4. You can then use this email address to send documents from your existing email accounts to Zoho Docs

If you require any functionality of Zoho Docs explained, please reply to this post or mail us at support@zohodocs.com, so we can feature it as our next "Tip of the Day".
