Zoho DataPrep supports exporting data to Zoho WorkDrive, a popular cloud storage service. Zoho WorkDrive allows you to store files and collaborate securely on the cloud.
To export data to Zoho WorkDrive
1. Click the

option from the

You can also apply the necessary security methods below to protect your personal data column:
A.
Data masking
Data masking hides original data with 'x' to protect personal information.
B.
Data Tokenization
Data tokenization replaces each distinct value in your data with a random value. Hence the output is statistically identical to the original data.
C.
None
You can select
None
if you do not want to use any security method.
