Cloud Import
If your documents are stored in Google Drive, OneDrive, or SharePoint, you can import them directly into Judicio's File Library without downloading and re-uploading. Connect your cloud storage account once, then browse and select files to import whenever you need them.
Connecting your cloud storage
- Google Drive
- OneDrive
- SharePoint
Google Drive setup
- Open your project and navigate to the File Library.
- Select Import in the toolbar and choose Google Drive.
- Sign in with Google. A Google authentication window opens. Sign in with the Google account that has access to the files you want to import.
- Grant permissions. Judicio requests read-only access to your Google Drive. This allows Judicio to browse and download files for import. Judicio does not modify, delete, or write anything to your Drive.
- Connection confirmed. Once authenticated, your Google Drive connection appears under Connected Storage in your project settings.
Importing files from Google Drive
- Select Import > Google Drive from the File Library toolbar.
- Browse your Drive. A file browser shows your Google Drive folders and files. Navigate to the documents you want to import.
- Select files or folders. Check the boxes next to individual files, or select an entire folder to import all its contents.
- Choose a destination folder in your Judicio File Library (optional). If you do not choose one, files are imported to the library root.
- Select Import. Judicio downloads the selected files and processes them (OCR, entity extraction, summary generation) automatically.
Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides are automatically converted to their Microsoft Office equivalents (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX) during import. Native PDFs and other supported formats are imported as-is.
OneDrive setup
- Open your project and navigate to the File Library.
- Select Import in the toolbar and choose OneDrive.
- Sign in with Microsoft. A Microsoft authentication window opens. Sign in with your Microsoft account (personal or work/school).
- Grant permissions. Judicio requests read-only access to your OneDrive files. No changes are made to your OneDrive.
- Connection confirmed. Your OneDrive connection appears under Connected Storage in your project settings.
Importing files from OneDrive
- Select Import > OneDrive from the File Library toolbar.
- Browse your OneDrive. Navigate through your folders and files.
- Select files or folders. Check the boxes next to the items you want to import.
- Choose a destination folder in your Judicio File Library (optional).
- Select Import. Files are downloaded and processed automatically.
If your organization uses OneDrive for Business, sign in with your work account. You will be able to access both your personal OneDrive files and any shared files you have access to.
SharePoint setup
- Open your project and navigate to the File Library.
- Select Import in the toolbar and choose SharePoint.
- Sign in with Microsoft. A Microsoft authentication window opens. Sign in with your work or school account that has access to the SharePoint site.
- Select your SharePoint site. After authentication, Judicio shows a list of SharePoint sites you have access to. Select the site containing the documents you want to import.
- Grant permissions. Judicio requests read-only access to the selected SharePoint site's document libraries.
- Connection confirmed. Your SharePoint connection appears under Connected Storage in your project settings.
Importing files from SharePoint
- Select Import > SharePoint from the File Library toolbar.
- Choose a document library. SharePoint sites can contain multiple document libraries. Select the one you want to browse.
- Navigate and select. Browse folders and select the files or folders to import.
- Choose a destination folder in your Judicio File Library (optional).
- Select Import. Files are downloaded and processed automatically.
You can only import files that your Microsoft account has read access to. If you do not see a SharePoint site or document library, check with your IT administrator to confirm your access permissions.
Managing connections
You can view and manage your cloud storage connections from your project settings:
- Go to Project Settings > Connected Storage.
- View active connections. Each connected account shows the provider, account email, and connection date.
- Disconnect an account. Select Disconnect to revoke Judicio's access to that cloud storage account. This does not affect files that have already been imported -- they remain in your Judicio File Library.
Import behavior
Understanding how cloud import works helps you plan your workflow:
| Behavior | Details |
|---|---|
| One-time import | Files are copied into Judicio at the time of import. Changes made to the original file in cloud storage after import are not automatically synced. |
| Folder structure preserved | When you import an entire folder, the folder hierarchy is recreated in your Judicio File Library. |
| Duplicate detection | If you import a file that already exists in your library (same name and size), Judicio warns you and lets you choose to skip, replace, or keep both. |
| Processing | Imported files go through the same OCR, entity extraction, and summary pipeline as directly uploaded files. |
If a document in your cloud storage has been updated and you want the latest version in Judicio, import it again. Judicio will detect the existing file and give you the option to replace it. The replaced file is reprocessed with the updated content.
