Cloud Storage

Cloud storage connections are firm-level — set up by an Admin, accessible by all members. Personal storage connections (personal Google Drive) are also supported at the user level under Settings → Integrations.

Connecting cloud storage

1. 1Open the App Integration module from the dashboard sidebar.
2. 2Search for your storage provider (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, or SharePoint).
3. 3Click Install → Authenticate via OAuth.
4. 4Choose the root folder where FRITH should store and read matter documents.
5. 5Optional: enable "Create folder per matter" — a sub-folder with the matter name is automatically created in your chosen root folder when a new matter is opened.

What the integration does

• Documents stored in your connected storage appear in the matter's Documents tab alongside native FRITH documents.
• Open, preview, and share cloud documents directly from FRITH — no need to switch to Drive/OneDrive.
• Drag-and-drop files between FRITH and your connected storage provider (web app).
• Auto-folder: when enabled, opening a new matter creates a folder in Drive/OneDrive automatically.
• SharePoint: document libraries sync to the firm's shared document view accessible to all members.
• Version history: cloud documents opened in FRITH show version history from the connected provider.

Permissions and access control

FRITH requests access only to the specific folder (or site library for SharePoint) you select during setup — not your entire Drive or OneDrive. Documents remain in your cloud storage and are governed by your storage provider's permissions. Attorneys who are not members of a matter cannot access its documents even if stored in a shared Drive folder — FRITH enforces matter-level access control on top of cloud storage permissions.
