About Zoho Workplace
Zoho Workplace bundles email, word processing, spreadsheets, presentations and file storage in one subscription. The apps run in a browser, so most work needs no desktop install, and documents can be edited by several people at once. WorkDrive handles shared files and storage.
The Free plan covers five users at no cost, and the pricing FAQ explains how mixed plans and storage are billed. Zoho Workplace suits small businesses that already use other Zoho products. Most people will find it less familiar than Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and no desktop apps are listed for it here.
