Zoho WorkDrive Overview#

The Zoho WorkDrive API interacts with Zoho's cloud-based file management system, enabling automated file and folder operations, team management, and content collaboration. With Pipedream, you can harness this API to create workflows that trigger on specific events, manipulate files and folders, and integrate with other services for a seamless productivity boost.

Action Authentication#

Zoho WorkDrive uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Zoho WorkDrive account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Zoho WorkDrive and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Zoho WorkDrive API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

WorkDrive.files.CREATEWorkDrive.files.READWorkDrive.files.UPDATEWorkDrive.files.DELETEWorkDrive.team.READWorkDrive.teamfolders.READWorkDrive.workspace.CREATEWorkDrive.workspace.UPDATEWorkDrive.workspace.DELETEZohoSearch.securesearch.READZohoFiles.files.READ
