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 setup

  1. Open your project and navigate to the File Library.
  2. Select Import in the toolbar and choose Google Drive.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Connection confirmed. Once authenticated, your Google Drive connection appears under Connected Storage in your project settings.

Importing files from Google Drive

  1. Select Import > Google Drive from the File Library toolbar.
  2. Browse your Drive. A file browser shows your Google Drive folders and files. Navigate to the documents you want to import.
  3. Select files or folders. Check the boxes next to individual files, or select an entire folder to import all its contents.
  4. Choose a destination folder in your Judicio File Library (optional). If you do not choose one, files are imported to the library root.
  5. Select Import. Judicio downloads the selected files and processes them (OCR, entity extraction, summary generation) automatically.
Google Workspace files

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.

Managing connections

You can view and manage your cloud storage connections from your project settings:

  1. Go to Project Settings > Connected Storage.
  2. View active connections. Each connected account shows the provider, account email, and connection date.
  3. 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:

BehaviorDetails
One-time importFiles 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 preservedWhen you import an entire folder, the folder hierarchy is recreated in your Judicio File Library.
Duplicate detectionIf 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.
ProcessingImported files go through the same OCR, entity extraction, and summary pipeline as directly uploaded files.
Re-importing updated 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.
