Uploading documents

How to upload one or many files to a matter or client, and the allowed types and size

Last updated:

You can upload matter or client documents from the Documents page, or from the Documents panel inside a matter.

Steps

  1. Open Documents and press Upload (or Upload document on a matter page, where the location is set automatically).
  2. Drag files into the box or press choose files. You can upload several at once. On a phone there is a Take photo button.
  3. Pick the Matter (or No matter (general document) and type a Folder name).
  4. Pick a Category. If the file is a copy of a paper original the firm received, tick This is a copy of an original the firm received.
  5. Wait for Checking and then Uploading to finish; a "documents uploaded" message appears.

Types and size

  • Allowed: PDF, Word (.docx) and images (JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC).
  • Maximum 50 MB per file.

If it doesn't work

  • "File type not allowed", "File is larger than 50 MB" or "The file is empty": change the file.
  • "Pick a matter or type a folder name for a general document": a general document needs a folder.
  • A message starting "You've reached the … plan limit" that mentions storage: your plan's storage is full; see storage limits.
  • "You cannot upload here": uploading is for owners, partners, lawyers and paralegals; accountants may upload financial documents only (the category is set to Invoice / financial automatically).
