Casewyze gives investigative teams two ways to organize case evidence: upload files into the internal Casewyze cloud, or attach URLs from outside storage providers like Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Box, iCloud, and generic web links.
Not every file belongs in the same place. Some evidence should be uploaded directly to Casewyze. Other files already live in a client drive, firm workspace, or agency archive. Casewyze supports both patterns without forcing teams to duplicate large files.
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.
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.
External link attachments are for 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 the material that needs to live directly inside the Casewyze evidence 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.
Upload files directly when Casewyze should host them, or attach outside URLs when external storage is the better fit. Either way, the evidence context stays with the investigation.
