Mapped Network Drive
Hi there, one of our 3rd party installed on all users relies on a single database file to run - that single file is currently stored on an on-premise server with a mapped network drive allowing that application to locate/use that file. We would like to get off the on-premise server all together & move everything onto the cloud with WorkDrive but how we would be able to set that app with the file location?
WorkDrive
I love WorkDrive - this is everything Zoho Docs should have been but better. Is there an option for either a) a desktop client b) setup as a network drive - this would be preffered over the web interface for adding new files, etc.
How to share several files and folders with one single link ?
Hello, we would like to share several files and folders with one single link. Like if it was a virtual folder including grouping several files and folders archived elsewhere. How could we proceed ? Exemple : Our server has the following folders : C: / Sales / invoices C: / Technical / datasheets C: / Marketing / Pictures We want to share to customers the folders : Invoices + datasheets + Pictures with only 1 link. We don't want to copy/paste those folders in a "New folder" otherwise we would have

Any plan to implement "sync on demand" feature in the near future?
Google has shifted to drive file stream, whose similar services include smart sync by Dropbox and file on demand by OneDrive. Is there any plan that Zoho WorkDrive implements this system? After having used Google Drive for some time, this sync on demand is found very useful as it can save local memory use and increase security.
Documents don't sync properly
Hello, My team recently moved to Zoho workDrive, some of my team, work remotely so we believed Zoho would be the best way to share and edit files as well as access files withing the team. However we are experiencing sync issues, when a file is uploaded in the file explorer and shows sync complete, same file can be seen on the Zoho web app but other team members can't see the said file because it is not syncing properly. i figured out that if i were to go to preferences in settings and resync the

How to clean WorkDrive cache?
I'm using selective Sync. When I go to my WorkDrive folder and check the total size of all folders, I get 9Gb. But when I check hidden folders, there is a .~$zstmp/.cache with a massive 120Gb... Any way to safely remove the cache? Thanks for your help.
Please give us the option to open documents with Microsoft Office instead.
When selecting a document, the open with button should have the option to select Microsoft Office products. If not available please remove the option to open with Zoho products as we end up creating multiple versions of the same file.
Move location of Desktop app to other HD
For some reason the Desktop version of WorkDrive installed on my (SSD) C-drive instead of on another larger HD on my computer. How can I move it to this other drive? P.S. Normally apps automatically install on my other drives as I have configured my PC this way.
WorkDrive Search vs Google Drive Search
I'm looking to potentially move much data into WorkDrive but I have big concern. Microsoft's desktop search has scarred me for life. You would think Microsoft could search a hard-drive as fast as Google, but that is not the case. So I have learned that search is vitally important to usability. Can anyone who is using WorkDrive with lots of data speak to the search experience using Google Drive or Gmail search as a benchmark? Key criteria are: 1) Speed of results - does it return results quickly

Hi all, With Zohodocs, I used external link sharing to share my documents with my accountant. She was able to access the files and then move them to a subdirectory.

Zoho Work Drive not syncing successfully
My team and I are currently in the process of moving over all files into the Zoho Work Drive. However, we are running into issues where the files do not sync properly. The two most common problems are: 1. Not all files in a folder will sync when it is uploaded or drag & dropped. 2. Some file names or extensions will be changed when they are moved over. These issues are making it impossible for us to complete this important task that will allow us to work remotely. I sent a request previously,

Large folders dont seem to be replicating correctly
I have just set our company up with Zoho wordrive to replace Google Drive which has been working flawlessly for over 10 years. I like the Zoho Ecosystem and thought since we needed more storage space, I would migrate us... That has turned into a taks that is causing me trouble and embarassment. When I try to replicate our folder structure within Zoho Drive, no matter what I do, I never end up with the same amount of files. Example: A folder in Google drive currently has 3933 files. If i copy it to
External Workdrive users can't create folders
When I start a project, I create a folder in workdrive, and then share an external link with the client so he can upload files. I just noticed that my clients can't create folders, so the only way to upload files is all mixed up in the main folder. Is there a way to allow folder creation inside a shared folder? If not, could you add it?

"Restore form Trash" improvements needed
Dear Zoho Corp., there are some improvements that the "restore form Trash" absolutely needs: 1) it's is currently not possible to download a file or restore a file in another folder form the "restore from Trash", thus not allowing to download a copy (i.e. of an older file that was overwritten) without risking to overwritten new ones; 2) "restore from Trash" DOESN'T SHOW THE PATH IN WHICH THE FILE WAS and therefore with multiple files with the same name deleted in different folders it's not possible

Hi there, I have been using Workdrive for a few days now. Today, my organization started having issues in syncing the "General" folder (I have a mac, they have PCs), since they keep displaying a message reading "General folder was moved"... none move the folder and the resync feature does not seem to work at all. Any hints? Best, Ant.

Right Hand Side Scroll Bar (OSX, Chrome) is too narrow
Hi: It's very difficult to grab the right hand scroll bar in Work Drive. Also, across Zoho properties, I've noticed that the scroll bar in Work Drive is thinner than all of them. I recommend doubling the width for this instance. Thank you.
Make offline folder , not just files
Hello, I have been using the Wordrive app on my phone and tablet. I can make files offline but not the folders. Are you planning to implement such a feature in the future ? Many thanks
Organizer
Why do organizers have access to the trash in WorkDrive? My technicians can't move a file or share a file unless I make them an organizer. But then, in theory, an upset employee, a compromised account, or a compromised PC could all completely wipe data. I hope I'm missing something, but I would definitely love to see more control over access levels.
Workdrive - Is there a way to export all the permalinks for use in zoho creator?
I am currently migrating data into Zoho workdrive - and most of the files are named as per the file names we require. What I need is when the files are uploaded, I need to "link" them to the corresponding records in my zoho creator APP. So they can be accessed via a URL link. Is there a way for this to be done please?
Desktop Sync on Mac OS X not functional
I recently migrated our business from Dropbox to Zoho Workdrive. After all of the file copies were complete, I chose Selective sync and attempted to unsync a folder that I no longer needed on my desktop. The Workdrive app appeared to lock up, but I left it overnight. Today when I came into work, I noticed there was no toolbar icon for Workdrive in Mac OS X. I checked Activity Monitor in OS X and can see the process for Workdrive is active. I reset my computer The icon never appears-- I can still
Workdrive for individuals
I'm a new Zoho reseller and would like to get all my clients into the Zoho ecosystem. I see that Workdrive is similar to Dropbox and other services.

Is there another way for individual business owners to get a WorkDrive account for themselves without needing to buy 3 licenses?

Zoho Mail - Attach from Workdrive
Hello, When is the "Attach from Workdrive" feature coming to Zoho Mail? As it stands now, the Workdrive / Zoho Mail feature is pretty useless, as you need to rely on links rather than being able to attach the document. We prefer not to share these links externally, but very much need to "Attach to E-mail" feature because we're trying to use Workdrive a central repository of information for our organization. Thanks in advance.
Are there any known regional Workdrive access restrictions around the world?
We are using Gdrive to distribute our business related documents and files (sales brochures, manuals, service documents, technical drawings, spare part lists, firmware updates etc) to our global distributor network.
