- Is my content secure ?
Zoho doesn't permanently store your data. When you open a document in SharePoint, a copy of your document is transferred with a strong 256-bit encryption to our Zoho servers temporarily and is available for Viewing/Editing. The document is deleted from our servers as soon as you close the document in Sharepoint.
