MyCase Drive enables fast and secure file management that seamlessly integrates your desktop with MyCase. MyCase Drive is a virtual drive that can be installed on both PC and Mac computers. It works similarly to the desktop experience for OneDrive or Google Drive. All documents continue to be stored in the MyCase cloud and can be accessed, organized, and managed directly from the computer's File Explorer on your PC or Finder on your Mac. Any changes you make in MyCase Drive are automatically synced to the MyCase cloud and vice versa in a system designed for law firms.

You must install MyCase Desktop on your computer in order to use MyCase Drive.

Key Features:

  • Documents are securely stored in the cloud and seamlessly accessible from your desktop in a system designed for law firms.

  • Changes made within MyCase or your desktop are automatically synced to each other.

  • Organize your case documents and folders with drag'n'drop functionality.

Make the most of MyCase Drive by dragging and dropping documents into MyCase Drive and encouraging everyone at your firm to install MyCase Desktop.
Please note that MyCase Drive works best with one account per device. If you must switch between MyCase accounts on the same device, you will need to reinstall Drive on the second account and vice versa when switching between the two.
