What is vLex Cloud?
Learn about vLex Cloud. Connect your cloud storage to securely search and analyze your own documents alongside vLex Library's global legal database.
Summary
vLex Cloud is a feature that allows you to securely connect your personal cloud storage (like OneDrive or Dropbox) to vLex Library. This integrates your own documents into the platform, allowing you to search and analyze them with vLex's powerful tools.
Why This is Important
vLex Cloud transforms vLex Library into your single source of truth for legal research. It breaks down the silo between your private work product and our global legal research platform, enabling you to run one search to find relevant information across both your own files and our database.
How vLex Cloud Works
Connect Your Service: From the Homepage, click Connect your vLex on the vLex Cloud card and follow the prompts to link your cloud storage service.
Sync Your Documents: Choose the folders you want to sync. vLex will then index your documents, making them searchable.
Search Everything: Your documents will now appear as a Content type filter on the results page, allowing you to include your personal knowledge base in any search.
Secure and Private: Your documents remain secure and private. Only you and users you explicitly authorize can access your synced content. All data is stored on certified and independently audited Amazon Web Services servers.
Best Practices & Pro Tips
Analyze Your Briefs with Vincent: Open one of your synced documents (like a draft brief) and use the Related tab to have Vincent analyze it and suggest relevant authorities from the vLex database that you may have missed.
