Zoho WorkDrive review

Zoho WorkDrive is a team file platform first and a free tool second. The free plan offers 5 GB of secure storage for individual use, which suits one person trying the interface. The team features start on paid plans: Starter gives 1 TB of pooled storage for 3 to 10 users, a 10 GB upload limit per file, My Folders and team folders, secure external sharing and an activity timeline, and Team raises storage to 3 TB. Across plans WorkDrive previews more than 200 file formats, transcribes audio and video, and includes Zia AI features, with an option to connect your own OpenAI account. Zoho says over 750k businesses use it. For this list the catch is clear: the free plan is not for teams, paid plans require at least three users and bill per user, and the page did not show us a USD price, so check it on the vendor site.

Who it is for
