"We were using OneDrive. It was hard or impossible to share files internally, let alone with our clients. We also have a number of clients who were on Dropbox and now have migrated to WorkDrive"

Challenges faced
As Enking International worked on multiple energy projects on a daily basis, they dealt with a lot of confidential files, and data security was their major concern. They also couldn't afford to lose any crucial files, so they needed a safe file storage solution with a provision to easily retrieve files that were accidentally deleted by an employee. Another issue they faced was an ever-increasing number of files, resulting in a continuous storage space constraint.
Zoho Docs solved most of their file management issues. But, as the team grew, so did the number of files, and they realized they needed something more. Files had to be readily available to the right people, without team members having to share them individually with the others.
How WorkDrive helped
The team at Enking International was very happy with WorkDrive's security features and standards we adhere to at Zoho.
"Zoho WorkDrive is not only fast, but also very safe and reliable. We really appreciate the security features provided by this system."
- Shreya Shrivastava, Assistant Manager- Sales & Operations
WorkDrive solved their file sharing issues, with the help of Team Folders. A Team Folder is a shared workspace where you can add team members, assign roles and permissions, and collaborate on files without having to worry about information security. Any file added to a Team Folder will be automatically available to everyone who is part of that folder, and they will have access to the file based on the role assigned to them. Every file activity within or outside the team could be tracked as well.
"We had been working with many different Zoho Docs accounts. With WorkDrive, all the information is now implicitly available to the right people with the right permissions. We can also track the data of any team member. This has enabled a more transparent and efficient system in our organizations with better file monitoring."

They were also amazed at how easy it is to retrieve any lost files in WorkDrive. WorkDrive has two levels of trash, one at the Team Folder level and one at the team level, so files are never really lost and admins can retrieve them at any time.
That's not all. With our unlimited version history, you can access or revert to any previous version of your files. You can refer back to any previous stage of your work to compare changes between different versions without having to create multiple copies of the same file.
"If the file is deleted we can retrieve it easily from Zoho WorkDrive. If we modify any document, it creates multiple versions, hence, the original can be referred to at any time."
- Shreya Shrivastava
Another feature that impressed the team was WorkDrive's advanced search function that lets users find files created by anyone in the team by file name, keyword, or author's name, and narrow down the search by location, file type, and date range.
"Features such as search function, control of metadata, and various other functions make Zoho WorkDrive a comprehensive and versatile application."
