Egnyte Setup

Linarc’s built-in Egnyte integration lets you connect your company’s Egnyte account to your Linarc account—enabling real-time synchronization between your project file repositories and your Egnyte folder.

• Automatically push all project files—including manually uploaded documents and system-generated items like RFIs, Submittals, and T&M tickets—to your designated Egnyte folders.
• Choose between real-time auto-sync or manual sync options for full control over file updates, renames, and deletions.
• Ensure secure, organized, and always-accessible file storage that supports compliance and reduces the need for manual file transfers.

Even company users without a Linarc account can access shared project files directly through Egnyte, streamlining collaboration across internal and external teams.

Pre-requsites:
Before you begin, ensure you have a folder in egnyte available for storing files from your Linarc projects. 
If the folder is not already available, a new one will be created automatically under the 'Shared' directory in your Egnyte space when you enter its name in the linarc setup.
Make a note of the following and keep them ready:
Egnyte Domain – This is your organization’s unique domain name
Root folder – The Egnyte folder name where you want your project files to be stored 

Tip: 
You can get your domain name from the URL of the site's home page (shown in the address bar of your browser).
Open your Egnyte home page.
Note down the egnyte domain from the URL:
Folder: Choose an already existing folder from your egnynte shared folder. If the folder is not already available, a new one will be created automatically under the 'Shared' directory in your Egnyte space when you enter its name in the linarc setup.

To link your Egyte account with your Linarc account

• Log in to your company admin console
• Click 'Integrations' at the top

• Click the 'Configure' button under Egnyte to start 

Enter the following details:

• Egnyte Domain: This is your organization’s unique Egnyte domain  
• Root Folder: The Egnyte folder name where you want your project files to be stored. If the folder is not already available, a new one will be created automatically under the 'Shared' directory in your Egnyte space when you enter its name here.

Note: Please ensure you enter the correct domain and site name. Specifying the domain and the site for a company is a one time process and the values cannot be changed at a later time 

• Click the button to validate your details.

You will be redirected to the Egnyte login page to authorize the Linarc platform to access the site.

The next step is to grant permissions to the platform to perform the required operations for the project file backup and synchronization. 

• Click 'Allow Access' to grant the required permissions

After the verification and authorization are successfully completed, the root folder is linked with your company. Once your root folder in Egnyte is linked to your company, it appears as an available external drive across all your projects.
