Cloud Integration
The Challenge
Legal professionals want to manage documents within a single cloud platform across their organization. But switching between tools, downloading files, and re-uploading revised versions wastes time and breaks workflow continuity. Sharing and permission handling is often inconsistent—or even insecure—when done outside trusted cloud environments.
How to Unplex
Unplex offers native cloud integration with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Dropbox. You can connect your legal projects directly to your cloud folders—so documents stay where they belong, and Unplex can read, edit, and save them seamlessly. You stay in control of permissions through your cloud provider, with no duplication or workaround needed.
Technical Implementation
- Direct API Integrations: Built on secure APIs for OneDrive, Google Drive, and Dropbox
- Project-to-Folder Linking: Each legal project in Unplex can be linked to a corresponding folder in your cloud storage
- Live Read/Write Access: Edit documents in real time without downloading or re-uploading
- Permission Control: Access rights and sharing are managed entirely through your existing cloud provider
- End-to-End Encryption: All data in transit and at rest remains protected via your provider’s native security model
