New Desktop Synch Addon for Zoho Docs

Zoho have recently introduced a great enhancement to their online document management solution, Zoho Docs.


The Zoho Docs desktop addon allows you to synch all of your desktop folders and files to Zoho Docs.  Once synch'd you can share and collaborate on files any time, anywhere.

Easy File Synchronisation And Backup

The new Zoho Docs desktop addon synchronises your desktop files across any number of computers. After a simple set up process the Zoho Docs desktop addon is a great way to back up all of your important files in the cloud.

Easy Team Collaboration

By using the Zoho Docs desktop addon you can share large files with colleagues and eliminate the need for attachments and bounces due to large files when sending stuff via email.  

When you share a file with another user they can access it with just a web browser or they will have the same version of the shared files available in their computer if they too use the Zoho Docs for Desktop.

Selective Synchronisation

Zoho Docs Desktop has a selective synch feature that allows you to take control of what you ant synchronised based on your needs at any given time. 


For example if you are traveling and need documents for a specific project or sale. 


And with the new addon you can select to synch different files on different computers too, so you can use each machine for different projects, great for users who (like me!) have a laptop with an SSD hard drive which although faster do have less memory.

Work Online or Offline!

OK, so some planes now have wifi as a service whilst in flight but not all of them by any means and in my experience wi-fly can be temperamental at best.  But with Zoho Docs Desktop you can still create / edit and delete files in your Zoho Docs folder in your computer, working offline, and any changes you make will then automatically be synchronised to the cloud once you are back online.

New Plans & Pricing

Zoho have also introduced new pricing for Zoho Docs, which is based on a combo of storage space and number of users. 


The Free plan, has a max of 5 GB of storage space and unlimited users, which means you can administer as many users as you like within your organisation who can all share and collaborate on centralised documents, as long as the files do not amount to more than 5GB. 


If you need more storage space, you can upgrade to a Standard license with 250 GB and a minimum of 5 users at 5 USD user per month and Premium with 1000 GB of storage (that’s 1 TB) with a minimum of 10 users at 8 USD per user per month. 


Finally, Zoho Docs for Desktop can be installed on Windows, Mac and Ubuntu Linux.
