Built for investigative teams, Casewyze keeps uploaded evidence and links to files in Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Box, iCloud, and other approved storage locations organized with the case—along with folders, tags, notes, previews, access controls, and activity history.
Not every file belongs in the same place. Some evidence should be uploaded directly to Casewyze. Other files already live in a client drive, law firm workspace, or agency archive. Casewyze supports both patterns without forcing teams to duplicate large files or lose the context that explains each attachment.
Upload evidence directly into Casewyze when the case file needs the material stored inside the platform.
Add a link to files that stay hosted in an outside system while the attachment record stays visible in Casewyze.
A useful organizer keeps more than a file name. Casewyze connects attachments to the investigation with folders, tags, file categories, related subjects, notes, visibility settings, and case activity so reviewers can understand what the material is, where it lives, and why it belongs in the record.
Group evidence by purpose, label it with consistent tags and categories, connect it to the relevant subject, and keep descriptive notes beside the attachment.
When a file must be retained inside the case workspace, upload it to Casewyze so the stored copy, preview, access settings, and export workflow remain with the case record.
When the file remains in Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Box, or another provider, store the URL and its case metadata without claiming that the linked file is a preserved Casewyze copy.
Internal cloud storage is the direct upload route. It is the right fit for files your team wants to keep inside the Casewyze case workspace, preview in context, include in exports, or manage through the platform’s case-level evidence tools.
Upload PDFs, documents, images, and other supported evidence files into the selected case with the right visibility access group.
Use folders, tags, descriptions, AI-generated summaries, and notes to make uploaded evidence easier to scan and retrieve.
Preview files inside the case, download or export when needed, and keep access activity visible for internal review.
The evidence organizer can catalog evidence or documents that already live in another approved storage location. Casewyze stores the title, link, provider, category, notes, tags, related subject, and visibility settings while the underlying file stays with the external provider.
Most agencies will use both methods. Upload material that needs to live directly inside the Casewyze workspace. Link files that already live in an approved external storage system, especially when storage size or client ownership makes copying unnecessary.
Use internal cloud storage for documents, photos, reports, and evidence your team wants handled as Casewyze-hosted case material.
Use external link attachments for large surveillance video, shared client folders, law firm drive files, or archives already governed elsewhere.
Whether uploaded or linked, the attachment can still carry title, type, notes, tags, subject context, and visibility settings inside Casewyze.
External links are intentionally different from mirrored file storage. Casewyze controls who can see the attachment record inside Casewyze. The outside storage provider controls whether a user can open the linked file itself.
Visibility groups and case permissions determine who can see the linked attachment metadata inside the Casewyze workspace.
Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Box, iCloud, or another host controls the underlying file permissions and sharing rules.
Teams can decide when evidence belongs inside Casewyze and when a reference to an external system is the better operational choice.
Use the right storage method for each file while keeping its case context, visibility, and access responsibilities clear.
An evidence organizer for investigators keeps files or approved external links connected to the correct case, subject, notes, tags, and access settings so teams can find and review each record in its investigative context.
Casewyze uses case permissions and visibility groups to control who can see attachment records inside the workspace. External storage providers continue to control access to files hosted outside Casewyze.
No. When an agency adds an external URL attachment, Casewyze stores the link and its case context while the underlying file remains with the outside provider.
Upload files directly when Casewyze should host them, or attach outside URLs when external storage is the better fit. Either way, folders, tags, notes, access settings, and evidence context stay connected to the investigation.
