Setting up the Egnyte source connector
Egnyte FAQ
What is different about Egnyte?
Unlike other cloud storage providers, Egnyte has a Shared folder and a Private folder. When migrating from Egnyte, our app defaults to the Private folders when autocompleting the user to user migration setup.
How will my paths look when Egnyte is my source?
During the migration setup (described later in this guide), you can edit the path(s) to specify where in Egnyte you want the data to go. From the root level of Egnyte, you can go into /Private that lists the individual users and their data, or /Shared which is the main shared data repository.
Most cloud storage providers, Egynte, for example, start the listing with a user such as /user@example.com/marketing data. Egnyte does not do this, so you would be looking at a path such as /Shared/marketing data if it's a Shared folder, or /Private/example/marketing data if it's a Private folder.
Authorizing Egnyte (Multi-User)
Authorizing Egnyte as an administrator is straightforward. To authorize or add a Multi-User Egnyte account as a connector, follow these steps.
Important
You MUST be an Administrator. A non-administrator does not work.
- In the Transfer Wizard, select Authorize New Connector.
- In the Connector list, find Egnyte.
- Select Authorize.
A new window (tab) opens. Name your Connector .
Provide the Egnyte domain, for example, if your Egnyte domain is companyname.egnyte.com, enter "company name".
Select Authorize.
If you are not already logged in, use either your Egnyte credentials or an SSO account.
- To grant our app access to your Egnyte Account, select Allow Access.

Connecting your source Egnyte account
If you aren't already connected after you have authorized your source, select Egnyte, and load the connector. An icon appears, and show you how many users you are migrating.
