Migrate From Basic Cloud Storage

Basic cloud storage is meant for solos and freelancers, not law firms. It lacks the structure and tools your firm needs to stay on top of matters and documents.

The Problem With Basic Cloud Storage

Poor Structure & Organization

Basic cloud storage is just that; you can create folders, put stuff into them… and that’s about it. General-purpose cloud storage lacks the client/matter-centric organization that modern law firms need. Without this law-firm-centricity you’re left with a wild-west of folders (and frustration when everyone doesn’t follow the same organization conventions).

Lack of Data Compliance

Many general-purpose cloud storage services will back up and replicate your data overseas, creating significant data sovereignty issues, as well as ethical problems regarding your client-related data. They also lack needed version history and permission management.

Lack of Document Management Capabilities

Most basic cloud storage services don’t do much beyond simply storing your data. They lack document management capabilities including comprehensive search, tagging and profiling, version management, email management, check in/out and more.

Lack of Email Management

Basic cloud storage services leave you to your own devices when it comes to managing email. Emails are just another kind of document, and need to be stored, organized, searched and manage just like any other document. Basic cloud storage lacks any Outlook integration and email management capabilities.

Constant Sync Problems

Basic cloud storage services fundamentally work by trying to sync all of your files across all of your devices. This works OK for individual use or very small teams. Once your team grows past 3 or 4 people, however, things star to fall apart. The service will struggle to keep every device synced up and file conflicts occur more and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about document management.

What does DMS stand for?2026-05-26T19:01:02+00:00

DMS stands for, Document Management Software. Document Management software such as LexWorkplace helps you manage document versions, find what you’re looking for, tag and categorize documents, organize matters and matter documents, and much more.

How is document management different from practice management software?2026-05-26T18:59:21+00:00

Document Management software stores, manages documents and email, and does so in a very robust way. Practice Management software, on the other hand, provides contact management, calendars, billing and other “front-office” functions. Practice Management software sometimes includes rudimentary file storage, but almost always lacks the robust functionality of a true Document Management System.
