Zoho integrates Zoho Docs and Dropbox

BANGALORE, INDIA: Zoho today announced integration of Zoho Docs with Dropbox, a service that lets you upload your documents, photos and videos anywhere and share them easily.

The move gives Dropbox users an integrated online office suite thanks to the word processing, spreadsheet and presentations apps available in Zoho Docs. Meanwhile, Zoho Docs users now have an integrated service for synchronizing their files across multiple computers and mobile devices, a company release said.

To demonstrate the file synchronization and other capabilities of the Zoho Docs and Dropbox integration, a webinar will be held on August 1, 2013, at 9:30 a.m. Pacific time. Registration for this webinar is being held at http://ow.ly/ndA3C.

Zoho Docs integration is the latest Dropbox-related project by Zoho, which previously integrated Dropbox with Zoho Mail and Zoho Projects.

Highlights of the Zoho Docs and Dropbox integration include:

· Seamless Two-Way File Sync - After enabling Dropbox integration in Zoho Docs, users can choose the Zoho Docs folders to be synchronized with Dropbox. Files and sub-folders within the selected folder will be synchronized through Dropbox across multiple devices. New files added to Zoho Docs or to Dropbox will be synchronized in both services as well as across all devices and will be available through Dropbox mobile and desktop apps.

· Zoho Office for Dropbox Users - With this integration, documents, spreadsheets and presentations created using the Zoho Office suite will automatically be synchronized across multiple devices. Users can also edit their Dropbox files - documents, spreadsheets and presentations - directly in Zoho Docs using Zoho's built-in editors. When a user edits a Dropbox file in Zoho Docs, the edits will be reflected in Dropbox, and vice versa, always keeping the content up to date across multiple devices.

Speaking on the occasion, Raju Vegesna, Chief Evangelist, Zoho, said "The real strength of Dropbox is its synchronization service that basically makes it possible for a user to work on the same file from multiple computers and devices without having to worry about where the latest version of the file is. Today, we're extending that capability to Zoho. Users who take advantage of the Zoho Docs and Dropbox integration can synchronize all of their Zoho Docs files across all of the devices they use with Dropbox."
