Importing Documents from Yahoo Briefcase to Zoho Docs

 
If you are a Yahoo Briefcase user, you probably are familiar with the

service being shut down from March 30th. If you have any files in Yahoo

Briefcase, it is easy to move them to Zoho Docs in two simple steps.

Yahoo Briefcase has a good option to download multiple files in a single

shot. You can select all the files (not folders) and choose the

'Download' option to download all your files. All the selected file are

downloaded as a single Zip file. If you have files in folders, you'll

have to download these separately.

Zoho Docs has a great feature to upload Zip files and Unzip them after

the upload. You can go to http://docs.zoho.com and upload the Zip

file(s) you downloaded from Yahoo Briefcase. Once uploaded, you can

right click on the Zip file and choose the 'Unzip' option to unzip all

the documents. You'll find all your documents imported in Zoho Docs.

If you have folders in Yahoo Briefcase, you'll have to download the

contents of each folder separately as a zip file and upload them to

Zoho Docs in a single shot.

Once you have your

documents in Zoho Docs, its a smooth ride from there. You can move the

files into folders by simply dragging and dropping them in the folders.

You can view and edit the documents by just clicking on them. If you

want to download all your documents from Zoho in a single shot, select

all files in Zoho Docs and choose the 'Zip' option to download the

selected files as a single Zip file.

I hope

this little tip is useful. If you are a Yahoo Briefcase user and are

trying Zoho Docs for the first time, you should see a refreshing

change.
