OVERVIEW: Adds new drive.

USAGE: egcli drives add [--silent] [--forceSSO] [--openSession] [--username <username>] [--password <password>] [--domain <domain>] [--cloudStartPath <cloudStartPath>] [<drive>]

ARGUMENTS:
  <drive>                 Label associated with drive.

OPTIONS:
  --silent                Instead of presenting GUI it tries to add a drive
                          immediately.
  --forceSSO              Forces SSO authentication. Using this flag causes
                          username to be ignored and makes domain option
                          required.
  --openSession           If specified, user interface would be immediately
                          opened to finish configuration.
  --username <username>   Username within the specified domain. Required in
                          silent mode.
  --password <password>   Password for a given username. Required and taken
                          into consideration only in silent mode.
  --domain <domain>       Domain URL for which to add a drive. Required in
                          silent mode.
  --cloudStartPath <cloudStartPath>
                          Cloud path to serve as a drive's root.
  --version               Show the version.
  -h, --help              Show help information.

 

We additionally extended available options in adding Connected Folder through CLI: (available with v0.7 and above)

USAGE:

egcli connected-folders add --drive <drive> -lp <lp> -cp <cp> [--child]

OPTIONS:

  -d, --drive <drive>     Label or UUID associated with drive.

  -lp, --localPath <lp>   Local path for which to establish the connection.

  -cp, --cloudPath <cp>   Cloud path for which to establish the connection.

  -c, --child             Add path as a child.

Adding -c or –child at the end of the connected-folders command will create a folder in the cloud path with the same name as the folder on local drive. Not adding -c or -child will connect local folder directly to cloud path. 

 

Custom Cloud Start Path can only be added via Command Line Interface and only during the drive addition step. After the addition, it cannot be changed.

egcli drives add <drive_label> --domain <domain>.egnyte.com --username <egnyte_user> --password <egnyte_password> --cloudStartPath /Shared/Documents/

 

 

At each sub-level command, type -- at the end to get additional documentation to guide you to the appropriate actions.

Example command:

egcli drives list
