Question

How do I set the LawDrop temporary path in Summation/eDiscovery 6 and newer?

 

Answer

  1. Navigate to the MAP installation folder (typically "C:\Program Files\AccessData\MAP")
  2. Open Web.config in a text editor
  3. Find the FileUploadStoragRoot key
  4. Set the value to the desired path
  5. Save your changes and close the file
  6. Recycle the Summation/eDiscovery services

 

Overview

As files are uploaded through LawDrop, they are stored in a temporary path before being automatically copied to their final destinations.  If this temporary path runs out of space during an upload, the program may cease to function as desired.
