# What is vLex Cloud?

### 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

1. **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.
2. **Sync Your Documents:** Choose the folders you want to sync. vLex will then index your documents, making them searchable.
3. **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.
