This article contains a list of third-party mobile applications that we have certified to work with Egnyte. Most of the apps below either link directly into Egnyte or can connect into your account using WebDAV or FTP.
Typically, there are two different workflows for using a third-party mobile app to view or edit files:
- Open third-party app → Connect to Egnyte directly or via WebDAV → Access files and automatically save back to Egnyte
- Open Egnyte mobile app and select file → Choose Open In option to view or edit file with a different app → Use a Save Back or Open In option from within third-party app to upload file back to the Egnyte mobile app
We'll focus on the first workflow, but you should know that most of the apps below also support the second process.
Set Up
Apps that Connect via WebDAV
For apps that connect to Egnyte using WebDAV, use the following structure when entering credentials.
- Domain Name/URL per device scenario:
- For static devices (e.g. printers and scanners) - https://webdav-mycompany.egnyte.com
- For dynamic devices (e.g. laptops and tablets) - https://mycompany.egnyte.com/webdav
- Username/Login: <your Egnyte username>
- Password: <your Egnyte password>
SSO authenticated users will have to set a “Non-SSO” password that is only used for WebDAV. This can be done from the My Preferences tab under My Profile in the Egnyte Web UI. Instructions for this can be found here
You will need to have Desktop App access enabled in Egnyte to link your account with any apps that require a WebDAV connection. Account Admins can access this from the Configuration tab in Settings under the User Types & Roles section.
Only Admins and Power Users have access to WebDAV in Egnyte.
Apps that Connect Directly with Egnyte
For apps that connect directly to Egnyte, input your credentials as you normally would:
- Your Egnyte domain name: mycompany
- Username: <your Egnyte username>
- Password: <your Egnyte password>
Apps that Connect via FTP
For FTP clients, use the following structure.
- FTP Server/Host: ftp-<domain name>.egnyte.com
- Username: <yourEgnyteusername>$<domain name>
- Password: <your Egnyte password>
Egnyte supports three transfer protocols: FTP, FTPES, and SFTP. Make sure the protocol your app is using is consistent with your Egnyte account’s FTP policy or you will be unable to establish a connection. Admins can access this from the Configuration tab in Settings under the Applications section.
If your account only allows secure FTP connections, make sure the app is using FTPES or SFTP.
