Yesterday, Wednesday, April 25th, we experienced some technical issues with one of our Zoho Mail application servers. As a result, less than one thousand users experienced intermittent access to Zoho Mail from 2:00pm until 3:00pm Pacific Time.

Although Zoho Mail was inaccessible through the web interface, customers were able to access their email, and send/receive email through our mobile UI.

To those users that were affected, we apologize for this issue. Although this affected a very small percentage of our user base, we strive to provide great service to all of our users.

In addition, syncing files with every machine be it a laptop or desktop was becoming very difficult across different computers.

That’s yesterday. Enter Dropbox integration in Zoho Projects, whether working from office or home all my files are now up-to-date and intact.…
