Even with all of our online collaboration tools, email attachments will never go away.
But recent improvements in Zoho Mail -including some made just last night!- make it even easier to deal with email attachments.

Keep attachments online, in Zoho Docs
You can now save attachments that you get on email directly into Zoho Docs. This makes it dead simple to keep all your files in a central place. Just click on the “Add to Docs” link

within your mail view and you’ll get a window where you can choose your Zoho Docs folder where you want to save this file.

Send attachment directly from Zoho Docs (and Google Docs too!)
Of course, the reverse also makes sense. In Zoho Docs, you can send an email attachment straight from your Zoho Docs folders or your Google Docs account. No need to go through your desktop for downloading or uploading attachments.…

Embed Remote Support widget on your web site for a better customer experience

Rarely will people go through with sensitive transactions and interactions, if they do not feel comfortable and secure about it, because…..

Sensitive Interactions

…..most times it turns out bad. When it comes to something extremely sensitive like Remote Support , where one grants control and access to their computer entirely, customer experience while going through with it really matters. It is normal for average computer users to be paranoid when it comes to remote support, given that even some computer savvy folks are skeptical of online dealings like buying and paying for stuff through net banking etc. One awkward experience with your remote
support service is enough reason for a customer to never return to you
for help!

Think about it, isn’t there always that little
hesitation whenever we are transferred to a third party payment gateway
while shopping online?

When dealing with different projects and different customers during the day, it becomes tough to remember what you were doing for each and every customer. Most of the time, we tend to forget half of the things. Typically, there is a need to track both billable and non-billable hours spent for billing each customer and keep track of the productive work done during the day. Zoho Projects’ Timesheet module helps ease some of these painpoints.

Here is a short video which explains the different ways to maximize your productivity with the Timesheet module in Zoho Projects.

Let’s see the enhancements done in the recent update to Timesheet.

Stopwatch
A stopwatch is included in tasks so that you can keep track of the time while you are working on a task. It is a constant reminder that helps you to stay on-task and quickly complete your work.

New: Domain Registration in Zoho Business

Posted on by

Domain registration is generally the starting point for many businesses. In many cases, a company is named based on the availability of a domain – atleast that was the case with Zoho. After a domain is registered, you find a hosting provider to host your email, Calendar etc and then find other vendors to host different set of applications you need to run your business on.

Now, this work-flow became much simpler with the introduction of Domains module in Zoho Business. You can now start registering your domain @ http://domains.zoho.com – a domain registration module, powered by Go Daddy .


If you register the domain with Zoho, we host your Email, Calendar, Documents etc. We automatically create sub-domains and point them to the respective Zoho Applications as you see below.

We also provide an option to add your custom sub-domain and point it to your favorite application.
