Following on the Local Sync / Local Backup / Offline Access feature proposed here: https://lexworkplace.canny.io/feature-requests/p/local-sync-local-backup-offline-access

The ability to have one or more local folders on the user's desktop serve as a "hot folder" that will automatically upload documents added to it to LexWorkplace (and, hopefully, to a specific corresponding location within LW). For example, when a new pleading is added to the local Smith > Endorsed Pleadings folder, the new pleading is automatically uploaded to the corresponding Endorsed Pleadings folder in the Smith matter within LW. This eliminates the requirement to manually drag and drop the new pleading into the appropriate LW folder through a web browser. Even a single local hot folder that automatically uploads to a general staging area within LW (or within each LW matter) could be very helpful.

It is true that manual drag and drop is fairly easy and does not take too much time (depending on how many files you are uploading daily). The main benefits of this feature are that it makes it even easier to get documents into the LW ecosystem and it opens the door to powerful automation tools that can handle moving local files to local folders but which struggle to mimic the process of manually dragging a local file onto a web page.
