Has anyone recently transitioned from Microsoft one drive to a case management system, such as Clio? How was the transition? I feel as though I’m rarely using the system except to open a matter and upload docs for e-signing. It feels easier to use one drive since it’s accessed locally on my Cpu. Any tips on how to make the transition smoother is greatly appreciated!
