The WorkDrive API is a REST-based interface that allows developers to interact with Zoho WorkDrive programmatically. Using the API, external applications can create, read, update, and delete files and folders, manage team memberships and permissions, generate share links, and retrieve audit and activity data, all without a user logging into WorkDrive directly.<\/p>\n
Typical integrations using the WorkDrive API include: automatically saving signed contracts from a CRM to a specific client folder in WorkDrive; uploading completed project deliverables from a project management tool to a shared team folder; syncing WorkDrive files with an external backup system; building a custom file management interface in an internal portal that uses WorkDrive as the storage backend; and automating folder structure creation when a new client is onboarded.<\/p>\n
The WorkDrive API uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. Developers register an application in the Zoho API Console and exchange client credentials for access tokens scoped to WorkDrive operations. API calls are subject to rate limits that vary by plan, and all API actions are logged in the WorkDrive audit trail, maintaining full traceability even for programmatic file operations.<\/p>\n
Yes. The WorkDrive API provides endpoints for managing team memberships and permission levels for folders. You can invite users to a folder, change their permission level, and remove their access through API calls. This is particularly useful for automating permission changes when project teams change or clients are onboarded and offboarded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Zoho’s developer documentation for the WorkDrive API is available at the Zoho Developer Console and the WorkDrive API reference pages at developer.zoho.com. The documentation includes endpoint references, request\/response examples, authentication guides, and rate limit information. Zoho also provides SDKs in multiple languages to simplify API integration development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
