Managing Attachments

Zoho Mail provides multiple options to manage the attachments you receive in your emails. You can view different types of attached files like Documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations, Images, PDF, Text files directly in the browser, or Zoho Applications for compatible format files. The received files can be uploaded to cloud storage or downloaded to your device or perform other actions. 

All the attachments in your email are available in the 'Attachment Viewer' to view them all in one place. Attachment viewer further supports quick actions, filters etc, to locate the files without worrying about the emails that have them. 

View Attachments

Zoho Mail provides a quick view of most of the common types of attachments you receive. Files such as Documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations can be viewed using the Zoho office suite apps. The common files such as pdf, images, text files, videos, and other media you receive can also be previewed in the browser itself, based on the built-in preview options supported by the browser you use. 

This helps you to view the file, without having to download the file and search for specific software to view the same. Further, you can use the Add to Zoho Workdrive option, in case you want to make revisions to the office type of attachments you receive. You can thus view the attachments from any device, without the complications of installed software applications. You can also drag and drop these attachments into an open Zoho Cliq chat window in Zoho Mail.

From the email listing, you can click the attachment icon to directly view the attachments in that particular email. Clicking the attachment icon for the header row in a conversation lists all the attachments in the entire conversation. You can also use the More options to perform actions.

More options

Click the Attachment icon, in the header region of the email preview pane to directly navigate to the Attachments area in the email.

Similarly, you can use the Attach and send a new email option to compose a new email with the selected file as an attachment.
