Next, in a new browser window, go to your CoffeeCup S-Drive account. Select the sites tab for your domain. At the top of the page, click on New Folder. Create a folder name zohoverify.

Once created, you will see that new folder in your list of files under your website. Click on the zohoverify folder to open it.

At the top of the page, click on Upload Files.

You will then select the verifyforzoho.html you downloaded from the Zoho website to upload it to your website.

Step 9: Verify HTML File
