WorkDrive 4.0: Enhanced productivity. Improved usability. (Phase 2)



Hello All,

In our previous announcement, we introduced the first set of WorkDrive 4.0 features designed to meet the evolving collaboration, security, usability, and data management needs of modern teams.

We are excited to present the next set of feature updates. These updates are specifically designed to elevate team efficiency, ensuring seamless continuity throughout your business operations.


Productivity

Higher upload limits and seamless file upload experience with WorkDrive

Say goodbye to concerns about file size, network problems, or interruptions during the upload process. With WorkDrive's new chunk file upload capabilities, we've transformed the way you upload files.

WorkDrive now breaks large files into smaller segments or chunks and uploads them individually. This improvement enables you to seamlessly upload larger files and resume uploads after interruptions, even in challenging internet conditions.

We've also bumped up the file upload limit to a whopping 250 GB! Business edition users can now effortlessly upload those massive project files without any hassle.

Here's a quick overview of the file upload limits based on your WorkDrive plan:
  • Starter Edition: Upload single files of up to 10 GB in size
  • Team Edition: Upload single files of up to 50 GB in size
  • Business Edition: Upload single files of up to 250 GB in size
  • Zoho One Bundle (WorkDrive): Upload single files of up to 250 GB in size
  • Zoho Workplace Bundle (WorkDrive): Upload single files of up to 10 GB in size

Create or upload code snippets in WorkDrive



Save code snippets by typing in the programming code or copying and pasting it from an external source. You can also upload code snippets and store them directly within the WorkDrive platform. Then, effortlessly share your saved code snippets with team members or collaborators.

Note: The auto-detect code feature in WorkDrive will identify the programming language based on the entered code. However, you can also manually select a language from a list of available options.

What's next: We are currently working on the line-based commenting feature for code snippets, which will allow you to comment and collaborate on any specific line of your programming code.


Continuity

Webhooks in WorkDrive: Real-time notifications for enhanced productivity and security

Webhooks gives you real-time notifications of file, folder, team folder, and team based events directly in an external app (the URL you specify) as soon as triggering events occur in WorkDrive. They facilitate the real-time exchange of information by automatically delivering notifications from one application to others.

Note: This feature is available only in WorkDrive Business Plan.

(i) Setting up webhooks in WorkDrive is accomplished through the use of custom apps. As an admin or super admin of a WorkDrive team, you can create a custom app from the Admin console and configure corresponding webhooks within it.

Here's a video outlining the webhook setup process. Whenever a file is deleted from a team folder in WorkDrive, this particular webhook automatically notifies users through the Cliq app.



Here are a few ways you can make the most of WorkDrive's webhooks:
  • Simplify file monitoring
    Configure a webhook to deliver swift notifications whenever a file is uploaded, modified, or deleted from a specific location in WorkDrive.

  • Enhance collaboration
    Webhooks can instantly alert you about edits to shared documents, new comments, and other changes made by collaborators.

  • Control access to files for enhanced security
    Webhooks can be used to monitor user access and permissions in real time. For example, you can configure a webhook to promptly notify you whenever a user's role or access permissions change within WorkDrive. This ensures that you can take immediate action to prevent unauthorized access to your files and folders.
