Where does Clio's legal document management software store my files?

Clio’s legal document management software stores your files securely in the cloud.

Instead of hosting files on your own servers, the cloud lets you access information from anywhere with an internet connection.

See Clio in Action.

How many legal documents can be stored for a matter or client?

An unlimited amount. Clio offers a document management solution for the cloud as well as for your desktop computer. Documents you work on in the cloud will be mirrored to your computer desktop as well.

See Clio in Action.

Can I set permissions and restrict access to specific documents?

You can use Clio’s user permissions to restrict access to specific users at the Matter level. Only those who have permission to a Matter will be able to access the documents within that Matter.

See Clio in Action.

What are the system requirements for cloud-based legal document management software?

The only system requirement for Clio’s cloud-based legal document management software is your internet browser (with an internet connection).

What's the difference between Clio and other dedicated legal document management solutions?

Clio is more than just a legal document management system. In addition to document management, Clio provides all legal case management functionalities in one solution, including client intake, time tracking, billing and payments, and more. When you work within one tool, you can see all of your law firm’s documents next to the notes, events, time entries, and financial details for an individual case, and you can reduce lost billable hours, context switching, and human error.
