Weekly Tips: Secure your attachment downloads with Zoho Mail

Safety is one of our main concerns, whether it’s about device security or online protection. We use tools like fingerprint scanners, facial recognition, and two-factor authentication to keep our devices and email accounts secure. We use methods like OTP based logins and PGP-encryption to send secure emails. But what about important attachments and files we receive through email? After we download them to our computers, how can we make sure that only we can access them? 

Zoho Mail's Secure your downloads option allows you to protect your attachments once they have been downloaded to your local desktop.
