    Sync downloads and backs up your WorkDrive items right on your computer.
    TrueSync creates a virtual drive of your WorkDrive account and doesn’t download your files immediately in order to save space.

    Check out the detailed feature comparison here.

  • What operating systems are supported by these sync apps?

    Sync: Windows, MacOS, and Linux
    TrueSync: Windows and MacOS

  • How many files and folders can I upload at a time?

    There is no limit to your uploads on your desktop apps. However, it's recommended that you upload files and folders in multiple batches so that you don't have to wait for a long time to start your work.

  • What is the maximum file size I can upload via the WorkDrive sync apps?

    The maximum file size that can be uploaded on the desktop apps is based on your current WorkDrive plan. It is 10 GB for the Starter plan, 50 GB for the Team plan, and 250 GB for the Business plan.

  • How can I add files and folders to sync apps?

    You can drag and drop or copy and paste files and folders from your computer to the chosen folder to add them.

  • How often are the files synced?

    Files are synced instantaneously any time a new file is added or a change has been made to the file.

  • What is Selective Sync in WorkDrive Sync?

    The selective sync option helps you to sync only the required folders or their subfolders. By default, all the folders (i.e., My Folders, Shared with Me, and Team Folders) will be synced.

  • Why don't the overlay icons appear?

    Overlay icons may not appear on your sync folder due to OS level restrictions or some other reasons. Please refer to the help article here for a detailed info: Missing Overlay Icons

  • What are the .zdoc, .zsheet, and .zslides extensions?

    .zdoc, .zsheet, and .zslides are Zoho format files referring to documents (Writer), spreadsheets (Sheet), and presentations (Show) respectively. All these Zoho format files will only be shown as a link file and when you open it for editing, it loads in the browser or web.

     

    You cannot create or edit Zoho format files (i.e., Writer, Sheet, and Show) from your computer. To create or edit these files, you need to go to the web app.

  • What actions can be done on a file or folder?

    You can create, edit, copy, rename, and delete files and folders using the desktop apps.

    The apps follow the same hierarchy as with the web app; the permissions of Team Folder roles (Admin, Organizer, Editor, Commenter, and Viewer) remain the same. A user can only perform the above actions in a team folder if they have the required access permissions.

  • Can I create or delete a Team Folder using the desktop apps?

    No, you can't create or delete a Team Folder using the desktop apps. To do this, please use the WorkDrive web app.q

  • What will happen if I delete a file or folder via the desktop apps?

    Files and folders deleted from the Sync or TrueSync folders will also be deleted from all other connected computers, as well as the web app. Deleting files from shared folders and Team Folders will remove the access for other users in those folders as well.

  • Can I change the upload and download speed on my desktop apps?

    Yes, you can change the upload and download speed of your desktop app by going to Settings > Preferences > Bandwidth.

  • How do the desktop apps use my computer storage?

    Sync: Zoho format files (i.e., Writer, Sheet, and Show files) are saved as link files in the Sync folder, so these files won't take up much space in your computer.

    Other files that you sync, such as images, videos, and other non-Zoho format files (documents, spreadsheets, and presentations), are stored just like any other physical copies, and will take up your computer storage as per their sizes in the WorkDrive web app.

    TrueSync: Since TrueSync creates a virtual drive, none of your files gets downloaded by default.

    Once you open a file via TrueSync, it gets downloaded to your desktop temporarily and stays until you quit the application. You can manually choose to save a file for offline usage by right clicking it then selecting Zoho Workdrive > Available Offline.

  • What if the desktop apps detect any virus in my file?

    All your files will be scanned for viruses once they are uploaded to the sync folder. Files infected with viruses won't be synced with WorkDrive.

    Note: If your anti-virus software did not mark the file as a virus, and you also think it is a genuine file, but the Sync app says it as a virus file, then please contact our Support Team at support@zohoworkdrive.com.

  • How many computers can I link to a single WorkDrive account?

    A WorkDrive account can be connected to a maximum of 20 computers.

    Note: You can choose to selective sync files and folders differently in each computer using WorkDrive Sync.

  • How many accounts can I link to a single computer using TrueSync?

    Using TrueSync you can link a maximum of 3 WorkDrive accounts to the same computer.

    Check out the detailed explanation here.

  • Where are the WorkDrive files located on my computer?

    Sync: The default sync folder location will be User Profile > Zoho WorkDrive (Team name), but you can change this to your preferred location.

    To view your current location, go to Settings > Preferences > Account > WorkDrive location.

    TrueSync: The virtual folders in TrueSync get mounted on your virtual drive (which is Z:/ by default) whenever you start the application and the location will be User Profile > WorkDrive TrueSync, but you can change the virtual drive location.

  • How secure is Zoho WorkDrive for Desktop?

    Zoho WorkDrive uses the best tools and engineering practices available to keep synchronizing data secure. We have a dedicated security team making sure that Zoho WorkDrive on your desktop remains secure. All files are stored and backed-up securely. Your account login is protected by many layers of security. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and AES-256 bit encryption are used for securing the data.

  • Can I choose a shared network folder or external drive as my sync folder on desktop?

    Yes. However, this applies to WorkDrive Sync and not for WorkDrive TrueSync.

    Note: When you use an external drive or network drive as your sync folder location, there may be some lag in real-time syncing between your system and web app. If you face any such syncing issues, please restart the app.

  • Can I keep the Sync app folder inside a folder which is used by other apps?

    No, always keep your WorkDrive folder in a location that is not used by any other apps, such as Dropbox or Google Drive. Otherwise, the overlay icons may not appear, and even the sync will not work properly.

  • Can I use an external hard disk drive or thumb drive to sync WorkDrive files?

    We don't recommend using thumb drives or external hard disk drives to sync files with WorkDrive.

  • What happens when I disconnect a computer?

    When you disconnect a computer, the syncing between that computer and the Zoho WorkDrive account will be stopped.

    For Sync, the files and folders that have already been synced to the computer as well as the web app will remain intact, and will not be deleted.

    For TrueSync, the files and folders will be removed from your computer.

  • Can I access files and folders in my system after uninstalling the desktop apps?

    Sync: Yes, you can access the files that were previously synced to your computer.

    TrueSync: No, once TrueSync has been uninstalled, you lose the ability to check any WorkDrive item from your desktop.

Migration

  • From which services can I migrate to Zoho WorkDrive?

    You can currently migrate from Google Workspace, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive using our built-in migration tool.

    Google Workspace: All Google Workspace plans
    Dropbox: All Dropbox Business plans
    Microsoft OneDrive: Microsoft Office 365 Business Standard plan only

     

    Note: If you use a storage service other than those mentioned above, please contact our support team and they will help you with the best possible ways to perform the migration by yourself.

  • Who can perform the migration to Zoho WorkDrive?

    A WorkDrive Admin or Super Admin can perform the migration. However, this person also needs to have an equivalent or higher level of access to the service they’re migrating from.

     

    Here’s a list of the roles that are needed to perform a migration to WorkDrive:

  • How do I enable the WorkDrive migration tool?

    The migration tool is not enabled in your WorkDrive account by default. If you wish to migrate, a WorkDrive Super Admin or Admin must raise a request for migration from the Admin Console. Once the requirements are met, we will enable the migration tool in the Migration tab within the Admin Console.

  • What data cannot be migrated?

    Some native files from the service(s) you migrate from can’t be opened on Zoho WorkDrive. Those files will not be migrated to your WorkDrive account. For a more detailed list of files that cannot be migrated, check out these links:

     

    Google Workspace
    Dropbox
    Microsoft OneDrive

  • Do I need to convert any of my files to their respective Zoho format before I migrate?

    Files in .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx formats can only be previewed in WorkDrive. To edit these files, you need to convert them to Zoho format (Writer, Sheet, or Show), which will create a copy of the original file in WorkDrive.

     

    Files in Google format (i.e., Docs, Sheets, and Slides) will automatically be converted and migrated as Zoho format files.

  • How do I fix migration failures?

    You will get a complete log of any data that failed to migrate. You can select the required files and retry migration.

     

    Alternatively, you can manually download those files from your previous service and upload them to WorkDrive.

  • Does WorkDrive use a third-party tool for migration?

    No, we have our own in-house migration tool. When we transfer a file, we download the file directly to our servers. We do not make a temporary copy of the file, and we do not perform any actions other than copying files and folders.

  • How long will the migration log data be maintained?

    Any log data expires in 90 days, and is never retained by us.

  • Will my data be deleted from my source service after migration?

    No, we do not perform any deletions from the source service (Dropbox, Google Workspace, or OneDrive). All your data will remain intact.

  • I did not migrate some users earlier, but I want to migrate now. What should I do?

    You can create a new migration, upload a CSV file containing only the new users, and initiate their migration.

     

    Note: Share permissions on already migrated files and folders will not be retained for users who join or become active in WorkDrive later.

  • Can I perform multiple migrations for the same user?

    No, duplicate entries will not be migrated to WorkDrive. This means data from multiple accounts cannot be migrated to a single WorkDrive account, and data from a single account cannot be migrated to multiple WorkDrive accounts.

    If you wish to move data from one user to another, you can transfer ownership of the user's files before performing migration from your source service to WorkDrive.

  • Can I map a user from my source service with a new user in WorkDrive?

    Yes, you can map a user from your source service with any user (new or existing), or simply update the name or domain of the user's existing email address in WorkDrive.

     

    Note: Migration can only be performed once per user.

  • How can I fix unmapped users?

    Click the Unmapped Users tab to view the list of unmapped users and the reason they are unmapped.

     

    To map all users, please ensure that all the users in your source service’s account/team/organization are associated with your WorkDrive account.

     

    If the user's email address in WorkDrive is different from the email address associated with their source service, ensure the WorkDrive email address is correctly updated in the CSV file.
