How it works

The Egnyte connector pulls in files stored in Egnyte. The Egnyte connector indexes the file name, file type, and contents of the file. New files are pulled every 10 minutes.

​
Setup

​
Configure your Egnyte Application + Nexus env variables

This is only necessary if self-hosting Nexus. If using Nexus Cloud, you can skip this step.
