Egnyte has built a new integration with Procore. You are able to sync an Egnyte folder to a Procore Project. The first feature we have completed is a sync between Egnyte and the Projects Documents. The Procore Integration is in GA and anyone can access this new integration.
Benefits
- Keep your documents in sync between Procore and Egnyte
- Have a single source of truth
- Transfer Project template folders from one platform to the other

Installation on Egnyte
- The Procore Integration is available by visiting the Apps & Integration page within Egnyte
- You are able to search for this by looking for Procore
- Enable the integration (This is only available to Admins)
Installation on Procore
Procore has changed the way they are doing Service Accounts. Starting on July 31st no new traditional service accounts can be created in Procore. The Egnyte – Sync Integration will now use Egnyte’s Developer Managed Service Account (DMSA). In order to connect the Egnyte DMSA you must install a data connection app from the Procore Marketplace and Add a permitted project with Egnyte's DMSA. Please enable any new and old projects with the Egnyte DMSA. All projects will continue to use the old key and continue syncing. However, any projects not enabled with Egnyte's DMSA will stop syncing on Jan 31st, 2023.
- You can Install our App on the Procore App Management Page
- Or you can also install the integration directly from the Procore Marketplace from this link - https://marketplace.procore.com/apps/egnyte
- Procore will confirm to Install the App with both the Directory and Documents Permissions
- Add the Projects that you would like to Sync the Egnyte DMSA, we recommend that you add all projects currently syncing to the DMSA as they will stop syncing if they have not by January 31st, 2023.
- Note: The Egnyte Sync configuration has been combined with the Egnyte Embedded UI in the Egnyte Marketplace. For the Sync configuration you can ignore the Configuration Page as it is only for the Embedded UI. More information on the embedded UI can be found here
