In litigation, it is common to receive sets of pre-processed discovery files from opposing counsel or various parties in your case. CaseFleet's Processed Uploads tool allows you to upload these document sets in bulk, while also mapping over additional corresponding data, such as Bates labels, metadata, tags, etc.

The Processed Uploads add-on feature offers several major advantages compared to the standard document upload method:

To request the processed uploads feature be enabled on your account, contact our Customer Success team via the in-app chat or by emailing support@casefleet.com.

A few additional notes about the bulk uploads add-on feature:

Before starting a processed upload project, the load file and all referenced documents must be “archived" within a single .zip file. An individual upload project must be created for each production set you wish to add to your case.

Once you've verified that your .zip file is ready to upload, visit the "Uploads" tab in any case and click "+ Create an Upload."

In the form that appears, enter a name for the upload project. If you also have the bulk-upload add-on for native files enabled, you will need to select "Processed Data" as the project type. Then attach the .zip file by either (1) drag-and-dropping it onto the shaded "drop-zone" on the form, or (2) clicking "Choose File" and selecting the file from your computer.

As soon as the file is dropped onto the interface or selected, it will begin uploading to CaseFleet's servers.

Once the file has finished uploading, click the "Save" button to continue. A pop-up box will appear asking you to confirm the submission of your uploaded file to CaseFleet. Once you click "Save," you'll see an Uploads project tile indicating that CaseFleet is in the process of analyzing the upload to determine a quote.

Once an Uploads project has been submitted, CaseFleet will examine the contents of the processed upload .zip to determine the total price for the processed upload project (minimum $225). This process typically takes 24-48 hours. When the quote is ready for you to review, you'll receive an email and a notification within CaseFleet.

Pricing depends on several factors — including the number of "unpacked" files and the uncompressed size of the contents of the upload set, along with an estimate of the time required by our team to complete the project.

For instance, CaseFleet considers not only the size of the contents of the main .zip file after it is extracted but also the size of any additional .zip files or other container files located within the contents of the main .zip file, along with the total number of files included in the set.

The total extracted size provides the most reliable indicator of the computing resources (and associated costs) required to process the upload, should you accept the quote. Any accepted quotes will be charged to the default payment method on file for your account upon completion of the project.

You will receive an email and an in-app notification when your Upload quote is ready. To review your quote, visit the Uploads tab and click "View Quote" on the relevant project tile.

To approve the quote, click the orange "Process Upload" button. On the confirmation pop-up, click "Accept Charge" to proceed with processing the Upload.

Once a quote is accepted, the processed upload project will be queued for completion. Processed uploads can take up to two business days to complete. You will receive a notification by email when the project is complete.
