How it works

The Egnyte connector pulls in files stored in Egnyte. The Egnyte connector indexes the file name, file type, and contents of the file. New files are pulled every 10 minutes.

​
Setup

​
Configure your Egnyte Application + Gorbit env variables

This is only necessary if self-hosting Gorbit. If using Gorbit Cloud, you can skip this step.

Create an Egnyte Application. Check out the Egnyte API documentation for more information.
2

Set environment variables

3

Restart Gorbit
