Third-Party Apps That Can Be Used With Egnyte

This article contains a list of third-party mobile applications that are certified to work with Egnyte. Most of the apps below either link directly into Egnyte or can connect to the customer's account using FTP.

The typical workflow for using a third-party mobile app to view or edit files would be the following:

• 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

To connect to Egnyte from Windows Explorer or Mac Finder, it is required to install the Desktop App. There are also a variety of third-party integrations that can connect the applications to Egnyte that can be viewed as well.

 

Set Up

Apps that Connect Directly with Egnyte

For apps connecting directly to Egnyte, credentials should be entered as usual:

• Egnyte domain name: mycompany
• Username: <Egnyte username>
• Password: <Egnyte password>
   

Apps that Connect via FTP

For FTP clients, use the following structure.

• FTP Server/Host: ftp-<domain name>.egnyte.com
  Ex: If the domain name is acme then the URL will be ftp-acme.egnyte.com.

• Username: <Egnyteusername>$<domain name>
  Ex: if the username is john and domain name is acme then the username will be john$acme

  If the FTP Client does not support $ symbol then any of the following symbols can be used: % # | @ &

• Password: <Egnyte password>

Egnyte supports three transfer protocols: FTP, FTPES, and SFTP.

Ensure that the protocol that the app is using is consistent with the Egnyte account’s FTP policy. Otherwise, it will be unable to establish a connection. Admins can access this from the Configuration tab in Settings under the Applications section.

If the account only allows secure FTP connections, make sure the app is using FTPES or SFTP.
