Export/Backup Options in Zoho

| By Arvind

We get this question quite often -

Does Zoho offer a backup function which will let me download all my data?

We have various options depending on each Zoho service.

Zoho Writer : Offers a variety of different formats that you can export a document to – doc, docx, pdf, odf (odt), latex, sxw, html, rtf & txt. Click on Export to see the options.

Also integrates with Google Gears. Offers upto 50 documents to be downloaded to your desktop. You can access these documents from http://writer.zoho.com/offline. Click on Go Offline to download Google Gears and your Zoho Writer documents

Zoho Sheet : Click on Export. Again offers a wide variety of options from xls to pdf to ods to xml. There is also a batch export option available from the sidebar.

Zoho Show : Open a presentation. Click on Export and you will see the options available (ppt, pdf, pps and odp)

Zoho Projects : Export all your tasks as an xls or csv file. Under Tasks and Milestones, click on Export button

Zoho Notebook : Has an Export as mht option. The exported page can be viewed in Internet Explorer.

We will be coming up with more export options in upcoming updates.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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?

  6. As mentioned in the post, There is a batch export option available from the sidebar. Go to 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.

  7. 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?
