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

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.
