# Document Storage

Configure where your signed documents are stored.

In the ribbon, select **SignNow** > **Open SignNow Sidebar**.

Click **Document Storage** on the side panel.

In **Document Storage**, define where signed documents are saved. Set the following options:
- Choose whether to save completed documents in OneDrive. Enabled by default.
- Choose whether to keep document copies in SignNow. Enabled by default.
- Choose whether to export documents with their history.
- Choose whether to save each signed document as a separate file.

> By default, documents are stored in both SignNow and OneDrive.

### Store document copies in SignNow

When **Keep document copies in SignNow** is enabled, choose where copies are stored in your SignNow workspace:

- **Save in default workspace Team folder** — (default) Document copies are saved to the Team's Documents folder in your default workspace.
- **Select destination folder** — choose a different SignNow workspace team folder. Only team folders are available; private folders are not listed. The picker lists Team folders from all your workspaces, not only your active one, each labeled as workspace name > folder name.

> **Note**: Everyone in your workspace with access to the selected team folder can access the stored documents.

When **Save in default workspace Team folder** is selected, document copies are saved to the Documents folder in your default workspace Team.

If the default workspace can't be identified:

- when you belong to a single workspace, they are saved to that workspace's Documents folder.
- when you belong to several workspaces and can't set a default, they are saved to your personal Documents folder.

## Access signed documents in OneDrive

Once a document is signed by you (via **Sign Myself**) or all signers (via **Invite to Sign**), a PDF copy is automatically saved to your OneDrive in the SignNow folder.

**To access these files:**

- Open OneDrive.
- Navigate to **My files** > **Apps** > **SignNow**.

> Documents are automatically saved only if the **Save completed documents in OneDrive** setting is enabled in the SignNow add-in **Document Storage** (this is on by default). Copies appear in the folder after the signing process is fully completed.
