Integrate OneDrive/OneDrive for Business with CosmoLex

In This Article…

You can forego CosmoLex native document storage and integrate your document storage with OneDrive or OneDrive For Business.

From this point forward, OneDrive will represent OneDrive and OneDrive for Business interchangeably.

Important

The integration works with a single OneDrive account, so be sure to choose an account accessible to everyone in your firm who requires access.

Integrate OneDrive

To Integrate OneDrive at the firm level:

From the left navigation panel, click Setup.
At the bottom of the Setup left navigation, click Apps.
On the Apps screen, in the Documents Apps section, click the on/off slider for the desired OneDrive application.
The slider switches to On.
1. Click Allow or sign into OneDrive, as applicable.
  CosmoLex displays a message: OneDrive For Business is successfully linked to your CosmoLex account!
2. Click Back to CosmoLex.
From the Dashboard left navigation panel, click Setup.
From the Setup left navigation, click Firm Settings.
From the tabs atop the Firm Settings screen, click Firm Preferences.
Scroll down to the bottom of the Trust Settings section.
From the Default Document App drop-down, click OneDrive.
In the upper right corner, click Save.
OneDrive for Business is your firm’s default document app.

Once you have integrated OneDrive at the firm level, any new files you create will move to the shared folder.

Important

Files uploaded to CosmoLex prior to the OneDrive integration must be moved to the new shared folder.
