Choose which Zoho desktop apps to install

Choose which Zoho desktop applications to install alongside the browser version of Zoho One. This article is for Zoho users who want faster access to their data and more efficient daily workflows.

Applies to: Zoho One – All clients

Zoho One is a cloud-based suite designed to run smoothly in your web browser. You can improve your experience by installing specific desktop applications.

A simple rule to follow: only install a desktop application if you already use that tool in your organisation's Zoho portal.

Browser: Zoho Ulaa

A secure browser is the foundation of a good Zoho experience. If you want a privacy-focused browser built to link with your Zoho account, we recommend you try Zoho Ulaa.

Email: Zoho Mail Desktop Lite or Zoho Trident

Depending on your needs, Zoho offers different ways to manage your inbox outside a browser tab:

Zoho Mail Desktop Lite: a streamlined application that mirrors the Zoho Mail web interface.
Zoho Trident: a complete productivity package that brings Zoho Mail, Zoho Cliq, Zoho Calendar, Tasks, Notes and more together in one desktop app.

Chat: Zoho Cliq desktop app

For real-time collaboration, the Zoho Cliq desktop app runs quietly in the background. It stays out of your way until you get a message, so you never miss an important update from your team or your Zoho bots.

Files: WorkDrive TrueSync and WorkDrive Genie

The WorkDrive browser interface is secure, fast and functional. Two desktop utilities help with specific file tasks:

WorkDrive TrueSync: creates a "mapped" network drive on your computer. You can see all your WorkDrive files locally, and they only take up disk space if you choose to keep them offline.
WorkDrive Genie: ideal for files that need specific software (such as CAD drawings). Open and edit files from your browser in your desktop apps. When you save the file, the version in WorkDrive updates automatically.
