Proxy authentication for Docs Desktop

My valid proxy authentication username, when at works, requires I specify the authenticating domain, since my laptop and tablet are not joined to the domain so that I can work from home without a VPN or cached credentials.

I can either do this with "domain\user.name" or " user.name@domain.full.name", either of which is not allowed in Docs Desktop (Windows, in this case, but I had the same issue in Linux)

The problem is that these are the only valid user names I can give, and anything less will fail to authenticate with the corporate proxy.

The only other possibility I've seen work is some GUIs are programmed with a separate "domain" field to specify the authenticating server. Presumably, they combine the domain and user name internally when submitting to the Socks server.

If this is http authentication only then, clearly, that isn't going to work either. It's usually considered too insecure in a corporate environment. Since it doesn't offer a choice of proxy type, I assume it's auto-negotiating, but I know only SOCKS, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5 will ever succeed.

Introducing True Syncing of Read-only Folders - Zoho Docs Sync
Some files are to be read, others to be edited, and some few to be scrutinized and reviewed. The permissions you grant while you share a file decide the level of activity a user can do on your file. If you have a set of files to be shared with your team and you don't want the contents to be changed in any way, then you can share the files in a read-only folder. But what happens when read-only folders are synced to desktops? Read-only folders synced
