Zoho Viewer supports multiple file types
Posted by Jacque on August 9th, 2007
There is another nifty product from Zoho — a utility called Zoho Viewer — that is a handy way to upload and share documents via the web. You can use Zoho Viewer to upload documents, then send friends and colleagues a link.
Viewer supports Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint files as well as PDF, RTF, ODF and OpenOffice documents, which means even if your intended recipient doesn’t have a particular program installed, they’ll still be able to view it through Zoho Viewer.
Use the Viewer web page to identify the file or files you want to share. After uploading, a new permalink is attached which you can use to share it. You can also share uploads via emails sent directly from Zoho, or cut and paste links for sending via your email client. There is even an embed code for posting documents on blogs and websites.
Scott Gilbertson at Wired Blogs Network says, “With more people turning to online office suites (like Zoho or GDocs) it makes sense to start thinking of your documents as URLs rather than files. Zoho Viewer is not the first app to emphasize this shift — for instance Scribd offers some similar options — but it’s very well done and makes sharing files a snap.”
Take a look at the video that briefly explains Zoho Viewer.
