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.
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.
You might have to disable your pop-up blocker if you have one.
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.
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.
Only you and the users that you explicitly authorise have the ability to access any documents you upload. Certain technical support engineers have the authority required to access the raw data stored in vLex Cloud. However, they will only access it after receiving explicit permission from you, and only while investigating a support or service related issue. Your access information to your cloud service is encrypted and deleted when you disconnect the service.
