vLex Cloud

Integrate your knowledge with vLex to enhance your research.

Linking your own legal documents to a larger database, such as vLex, will provide you with helpful insights into your own work, and allow you to conduct your legal research faster. vLex's algorithms learn from your commonly cited sources and precedents, using this information to give you better insights.

You can search across your own documents on vLex, alongside millions of others and they will be enriched with links and annotations to the documents on vLex, allowing you a seamless research experience.

Integrating your documents

To use vLex Cloud, simply connect a cloud storage service. vLex currently supports Dropbox↗, and Microsoft's OneDrive↗ with more to be added soon.

To get started, click Connect your vLex, and then Next on the homepage. Select your cloud storage service and agree to the Terms of service↗ and the Privacy policy↗.

Connecting your vLex

This will automatically open a new window where you can log in to your chosen service.

Use the checkboxes to select the folders you want to sync and then click Done.

Give vLex some time to upload and analyse your documents. Depending on the number and size of your documents, this could take a while. The number of indexed documents will be visible on the vLex Cloud card on your Home page.

Reading your documents on vLex

You can now find your documents using a variety of different search options. You can read them, and also analyse them using our various features, such as highlights, notes, translation and folders.

When using your own document on vLex, select Related to run it through Vincent. This will show you similar documents that you may be interested in.
