File management overview in Zoho Connect.

Introduction to Files

Overview
Files in Zoho Connect serve as an online repository for storing, managing, and collaborating on company and team documents. Integrated with Zoho Docs, it allows you to create, edit, and share spreadsheets, documents, and presentations with the team in real time.
NotesThis guide is intended for users who configured Files before March 11, 2026

Where can you access files?  

You can view and access files from the Files page in Zoho Connect. Also, if you've enabled Files in the Company Wall or groups, you can access the files associated with them in a dedicated tab within the Company Wall and Group Wall respectively.



How you can use Files

  • You can work on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with the team in real time.
  • You can track changes and revert to previous versions if needed since there's version control available.
  • Set and update permissions to restrict or allow editing and viewing access to others.
  • Categorize files into folders for better management.
 

An example of how to use Files to collaborate with the team

Let's say a manager uploads a project spreadsheet to Files in R&D group.
  • Team members can access it from the Group's Files tab.
  • Manager can set permissions to allow viewing, commenting, and editing access to others.
  • Whenever a document is added, a post will appear on the Group's feed automatically, keeping everyone notified.
This way, the team could achieve simple, fast, and efficient collaboration!
