Modified on: Wed, 27 May, 2026 at 3:25 PM

Overview

Local and Cloud Storage in Maltego One allows you to store and manage both graphs and search results in a unified system. All your investigation data is organized within Cases and accessed through a single Cases drawer, making it easier to switch between workflows and maintain structured investigations.


Selecting between saving and accessing graphs in local and cloud storage allows you to:

  • Save graphs and searches to local folders or cloud cases
  • Choose between encrypted and unencrypted cloud storage for graph data
  • Access all cases, graphs, and searches from a single Cases drawer
  • Organize all investigation data within a unified case management system
  • Start a search or a new graph directly from the Cases drawer
  • Manage local folders by adding, removing, or refreshing them


Please note that this feature works exclusively on Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers.
