Tell me more about Workdrive

Overview

Zoho WorkDrive is a cloud-based file management and collaboration platform designed for teams and organisations.

Key Features

1. WorkDrive provides file storage.  This can either be for a single user or can be Team Folder system. These folders are accessible to team members based on permissions, allowing centralised access to shared files.
   

1. You can set permissions for each user or group — view, edit, comment, upload, or manage. This ensures files are only accessible or editable by the right people.

1. WorkDrive has desktop apps (for Windows and macOS) that allow you to sync files between your computer and the cloud. There's also a TrueSync feature that lets you work with files without taking up local storage.

1. You can share documents via links; these can be password-protected or expiry-dated links if required.
   
   
2. Multiple users can work on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations simultaneously using Zoho’s Office Suite (Writer, Sheet, and Show). Changes are saved in real-time, and version history is maintained.
