How to Connect Local Storage & Network Drives to Recital Using Recital Connect

Overview

Recital Connect is a desktop application that automatically syncs contracts from your local computer or mounted network drives into Recital.

Once installed and configured, Recital Connect runs in the background and:


  • Monitors selected folders
  • Detects new or updated contracts
  • Uploads supported documents to Recital
  • Makes them searchable and reportable alongside your other connected sources


It works in addition to Recital’s cloud storage and email connectors, allowing you to bring contracts from multiple sources into a single, unified contract dataset.


Recital Connect is available for macOS and Windows.
