Here’s a question (with variations of it) we get from the first-timers of Zoho.
I have a document/spreadsheet/presentation that is to be emailed every time to a ‘prospect/client’ or to my ‘boss/peers/co-students/teacher for review’. In the former instance, “I don’t want the doc to stay in my prospect/client’s inbox (as documents soon become obsolete)”. And in the latter instance, “I and my boss/peers/co-students/teacher end up having multiple versions of the file, adding to my/their email clutter”. How can Zoho help me here?
Well, this is one of the fundamental problems solved by Zoho. Let’s say you have a .doc or .odt file. You have a few options in Zoho that would make things easier for you.
- Import your document into Zoho Writer
- Share it by giving the email addresses of your prospect/client, boss,peers, co-students or teacher. They will receive an email with a HTML link (URL) which they can click on to view the document. They can edit the document too, directly inside Zoho Writer if you have given them proper permission
- Make the document public (if it doesn’t contain anything confidential) and give the URL to anyone who would like to view it.
- Upload your document to Zoho Viewer. You get a URL which you email to everyone concerned & they can view it. Use the Zoho Viewer option judiciously – there’s an option where you can choose the URL to expire after a certain time period
Here’s a short screencast (our first attempt. bear with the video/audio quality please!) explaining the above options. For better clarity, view the video in Full Screen mode.
There are other advantages too.
- No compatibility issues that come with using different types and versions of desktop software
- You can keep updating your document and the latest version’s available for your prospect, client or whoever you want it to be viewed
- Live collaboration is possible – you and your collaborators can work on a document or spreadsheet in real-time
- And, you can chat too (using the embedded Zoho Chat)
Use Zoho. Say NO to email attachments.

Is there a timeframe for this functionality? Please provide the date if one exists.

I agree with Jian. At a minimum, zoho should offer the ability to download all data at once for backup. Selecting individual documents is too cumbersome.

I also want an application which can synchronous all zoho data with desktop-file so we can read these file when Internet is not well.

I really agreen with George.
BTW, it would be better if we can synchronous zoho with desktop file, I mean we can choose reading zoho offline-file(desktop file) when something wrong with internet.
So, I think an desktop-application is very necessary to do synchronization.

This is still insufficient. I want to be able to backup data from all services / applications in a single step. Individual and small batch backups are good only for incrementally backing things up. There really needs to be a better option here.

I'm developing an app which exports small files for use in another app. Would there be a $10 charge for each of these exports?

As mentioned in the post, There is a batch export option available from the sidebar. Go to http://sheet.zoho.com " rel="nofollow">sheet.zoho.com. Select upto 10 spreadsheets from the sidebar and use the Actions menu in the sidebar to batch export the selected files as a single zip file.

Is there a way to backup all the Zoho Spreadsheets at once or does each sheet have to be exported individually?

I'm just wondering can i download small reports or bits of data (but not entire datafile- like a list of names of people who attend an event for name tags etc) without incurring a cost of $10?

Do you charge $10 each time a user export their data?
