Accessing your My Matters and Recent Matters
When you connect to an iManage Work Server, iManage Drive automatically creates a stub for workspaces under the My Matters and Recent Matters folder in the mapped drive. You need not manually sync all your Recent Matters and My Matters to make them available locally. By default, 100 workspaces are displayed in each of these folders.

To manually refresh the folders whenever required, right-click them and select Refresh.
If your administrator has set the refresh_recent_my_matters_frequency_in_seconds option, the Recent Matters and My Matters folders will refresh at the interval specified (in seconds). If this option is not set and you navigate within the Recent Matters or My Matters folder that has not been refreshed in the past 24 hours, an automatic refresh will occur.
