Supercharge your email workflow with WorkDrive's add-in for Microsoft Outlook

Supercharge your email workflow with WorkDrive's add-in for Microsoft Outlook

Consider this: You’re handling a critical project, and your inbox is packed with important attachments, email threads, and client communications. The back-and-forth routine of downloading files to your computer, uploading them to WorkDrive, and manually attaching them to emails in Outlook can be tedious and time-consuming.

But what if you could manage all of this without ever leaving Outlook?

Introducing: Zoho WorkDrive add-in for Microsoft Outlook

The Zoho WorkDrive add-in for Microsoft Outlook brings the power of WorkDrive’s file management and sharing capabilities into your Outlook interface. This seamless integration simplifies your process, allowing you to manage, organize, and share files without ever leaving your inbox.

Here's what you can do with this add-in:

Save email attachments

Imagine you're reviewing contracts or design drafts sent by clients. Instead of downloading attachments to your desktop and manually uploading them to WorkDrive, you can save them directly from your email to the relevant WorkDrive folder.
No more cluttered downloads folder or fear of losing important files; everything is stored securely and well-structured in WorkDrive.



Back up important emails

Important email conversations often get buried in overflowing inboxes. Let’s say you're negotiating a deal with a client, and you want to make sure every crucial email exchange is stored safely. Now, with the WorkDrive add-in, you can instantly save any email thread in .eml format directly to your WorkDrive.



Seamless file sharing

Do you need to send a large proposal or a series of high-resolution product images? Instead of worrying about email attachment limits, you can share any file, no matter the size, by inserting a WorkDrive share link directly into your email.


The best part? You maintain full control over who can access the files and for how long, ensuring data security and seamless collaboration.



So why wait? Get started by downloading and installing the add-in directly from your Outlook application or through the Microsoft AppSource website.

We hope you find this new feature helpful! Let us know if you have any questions or leave feedback in the comment section below.
