Downloading a Laserfiche Briefcase

A collection of documents and folders can be downloaded as a Laserfiche briefcase: a single file that compresses the data contained in it. When downloading a briefcase, you can only select documents and folders from the folder currently being viewed. To also include documents or folders located in a different folder, shortcuts to the desired documents and folders should be created in the current folder.

Note: You must have the Laserfiche Mobile Server version 10.2 or later and the Export feature right to download briefcases.

To download a briefcase using the Windows app

  1. Navigate to the documents and/or folders you want included in the briefcase. Press the ellipsis Ellipsis button on the app bar at the bottom and press SelectSelect button. Select the checkbox next to one or more entries you want included in the briefcase. Press the ellipsis Ellipsis button on the app bar again and select Download Briefcase.
  2. Specify a name for the briefcase and select if you want to include subfolders in the briefcase.

  3. If you want to encrypt the briefcase to require a password to open or import it, do the following:
    • Select Encrypt.
    • Type the password in the Password box.
    • Type the password again in the Verify box.
  4. Press the checkmark at the top right to download the briefcase, or the X at the top left to cancel the download.
  5. The download will begin. Press Details at the bottom of the screen to see the progress of the download.
  6. If you are using the Windows desktop app, navigate to where you want the briefcase downloaded. If you are using the Windows tablet or phone app, choose if you want to download the briefcase to your local device or to another application (e.g., Google Drive), then save the briefcase.
