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.
