Automatic uploads powered by our folder mapping application

The Revver Folder Mapping App allows you to automatically upload files to Revver by simply adding them to a folder on your computer or network drive.Through the app, you can map your local source to a destination in Revver. Whenever a file is placed in your local source, it will automatically upload a copy to the specified Revver destination and the original file will be moved to a subfolder in your source location. With the Folder Mapping app, you can:

  • Map Revver locations to local or network folders. Any files added to the mapped local folder, including network drive folders, will automatically upload to the specified Revver location.

  • Enable automatic processing with Revver features. Files uploaded through mapped folders have access to all Revver capabilities, including Smart Extract AI, Workflow automation, and Revver Reports.

  • Set it and forget it. Once you’ve authenticated using an access code associated with your Revver user, you stay logged in and the app will automatically upload as it detects files in your source locations.

  • Automatically archive uploaded files. Once files are successfully uploaded to Revver, they're moved to an "Archived Revver Uploads" sub-folder in your source location, keeping your mapped folder organized while preserving the originals.


This article will cover how to download and set up the Revver Folder Mapping app, create folder mappings between your computer and Revver, and manage your mapped folders.

Access/Permissions Requirements

To use the Revver Folder Mapping App, you will need:

  • At least Upload item permissions to the drawers or folders in Revver that you want to use as mapped destination

  • The Revver Folder Mapping app downloaded and installed on your computer

  • Available for Basic, Essentials, and Full user types


Instructions to set up the Revver Folder Mapping App

Step 1: Download the Revver Folder Mapping App

  • Navigate to My Settings in Revver

  • Locate the Mapped Folder Uploads section

  • Click the link to download the Revver Folder Mapping app

  • Install the app on your computer by choosing the Windows or Mac download

Step 2: Authenticate the app with your Revver account

  • In the Mapped Folders Uploads section of your My Settings page, locate your unique Access Code and copy it.

  • The Revver Folder Mapping will launch from your system tray

  • In the app, paste your Access Code into the “Authenticate" section of the Get Started page, paste your Access Code into the box and click Login

  • Once authenticated, the app will display your user name and account name

Step 3: Choose a destination

Option: Provide the Item ID

  • In Revver's web application, navigate to your destination drawer or folder

  • Open the Details tab and copy the destination’s Item ID

  • In the Folder Mapping app, select the button to Create a New Mapping. Provide the Item ID.

Step 4: Choose a source

  • Finish configuring the mapping by choosing a local source:

    • Map to a folder on your computer or network: Browse to select a folder using your operating system's file picker

    • Map to the Revver printer add-on (Windows only): Automatically upload printed files to this Revver location

    • Map to the Revver scanner add-on (Windows only): Automatically upload scanned files to this Revver location

  • Confirm your selection. You'll see a success message, and the mapping will appear in your list of mapped folders.

Step 5: Add files to your mapped folder to upload to Revver automatically

  • Add any file to the mapped folder on your computer or network drive

  • A copy of the file will automatically upload to the corresponding Revver location

  • Once successfully uploaded, the original file on your computer will be moved to an "Archived Revver uploads" sub-folder within your mapped folder

  • Uploaded files are tracked in your Revver account’s audit log


Managing your mapped folders

If you’re already authenticated, you will see a table of your existing mappings when you open the Revver Folder Mapping app from your system tray. The “Your Mapped Folders” table shows the local source folder’s path, the Revver destination folder path, when the mapping was created, and the date and time of the last upload to Revver through that mapping.

Here, you will be notified if any mappings are in error. You can delete any mapping from here and create new mappings.

Troubleshooting folder mapping errors

If you see an error icon next to a mapped folder or in your system tray:

  • Unable to find folder: The computer or network folder may have been deleted, moved, or renamed. Edit the mapping to select a new folder path, or delete the mapping if it's no longer needed.

  • Not authenticated: You may have been logged out of the app. Open the app and log in again using your Access Code from My Settings.


How folder mapping works

Automatic uploads

  • The Revver Folder Mapping app checks for new files in your mapped folders regularly

  • When new files are detected, they're uploaded to Revver immediately (if you have an internet connection)

  • If your internet connection is temporarily lost, files will be uploaded as soon as the connection is restored

  • If there are already files in a folder when you create a mapping, those existing files will be uploaded automatically

File archiving

  • Files remain in your mapped folder until they're successfully uploaded to Revver

  • After a successful upload, files are moved to an "Archived Revver uploads" sub-folder within your mapped folder

  • You can manually delete files from this archive folder whenever you'd like

  • If the archive sub-folder is deleted, it will be automatically recreated at the next upload

File size limits

  • Files that exceed Revver's upload size limits of 50 GB will remain in your mapped folder and will not be uploaded. Files of this side exceed Revver’s upload limit from any source, so the file size would need to be addressed before you can try to upload through the app or manually.

Processing in Revver

  • All uploaded files have access to Revver's full feature set

  • Files can be processed by Smart Extract AI for automatic data extraction

  • Workflow automation can be applied to route, approve, or process uploaded files

  • Files appear in Revver with all standard capabilities for sharing, governance, and collaboration
