Add files using keyboard shortcuts
In Zoho WorkDrive, you can now use keyboard shortcuts to easily upload, move, and copy files, provided you have the required permissions in the selected folder.
Upload files from clipboard
When you copy files from your system or browser, the files will be copied to the system's clipboard temporarily, which you can then upload to WorkDrive directly using keyboard shortcuts.
To copy files to your system clipboard: ctrl/cmd + c
To paste files in WorkDrive: ctrl/cmd + v
- Copy the required files (ctrl+c on Windows/cmd+c on MacOS) you want to upload to WorkDrive from your system or a browser tab.
Note: You can now directly upload image files copied from the web to WorkDrive. Additionally, you can use the snapshot feature by pressing Windows key + shift + s (cmd + ctrl + shift + 4 on MacOS) and upload it to WorkDrive. - Sign in to your WorkDrive account.
- Go to the location you wish to upload these files on WorkDrive and press ctrl+v (cmd+v on MacOS). Ensure you have the required permissions to upload in the given location.
- A pop-up will show you which location the files will be uploaded to. Using the Change Location option, you can change the upload location to any other folder.
