Attachment Viewer


Posted by Nishi on 27 January 2025


Attachment Viewer offers a single consolidated view of all the attachments received. This mainly addresses the issue of attachment disorder due to numerous emails and forwards. 

Centralized view

Attachment viewer consolidates the emails from all the applications in a single place. You can view the attachments sent to you by email, or shared to you via Streams or added in your Tasks or Notes in the centralized view.  The files are neatly sorted based on their types:

  • Images
  • Documents
  • Media Files
  • Compressed Files and 
  • Other types

Attachment Actions:

You can easily perform certain actions on the attachments from within the Attachment Viewer.

By default, the attachments will be displayed as Thumbnails. You can choose either the List View or the Thumbnail View from the right corner of the Attachment viewer.

Open linked email - You can open the email/task/post related to the attachment using this option.

Attach and send a new email - When you want to send an attachment with an email, you can use this option.

You can also drag an attachment from the Attachment Viewer and directly drop it into the Compose area to attach it to a new email.​

Apart from that, you can also Download the attachments to your device. Click More options to view the other actions you can do: add the attachment to a new streams post, note or task, apply tags, add to cloud, hide, and print the attachment.

File Preview:

You can select any thumbnail to preview the attachments. They can be previewed directly without having to download the entire attachments. Also, if the files attached are Documents/ Spreadsheets or Presentations, you can directly view the attachments using the embedded Zoho Writer/ Sheet/ Show applications.

The attachment viewer can also be used to directly preview the media files, in case you receive a video or audio file attachment. Only the compressed files and certain other types of files need to be downloaded to view them. Such attachments cannot be previewed.

 Quick Actions:

You can mark an attachment as a favorite, directly open the linked email, send a new email with the attachment, upload the file to the cloud or add a tag to the attachment from the thumbnail view itself. 

All the quick actions are also available in the Preview Attachment mode. Further, you can search and list the other attachments from the sender or list all the attachments of the same type from the Preview mode.
