To integrate Google Apps Drive accounts with your Egnyte install, we suggest creating sync pairs like this:

Google Drive (bob@acme.com)    <-> Egnyte (acme.com)/Private/bob/Google Drive
Google Drive (alice@acme.com)  <-> Egnyte (acme.com)/Private/alice/Google Drive
...

The above will sync a dedicated Egnyte folder called “Google Drive” with a user’s Google Drive account.

Egnyte preparation

  • Ensure that you are an Egnyte admin:
    Egnyte folder
  • For each of your users, create a folder that will be synced with each user’s Google Drive account. For example, you can name that folder “Google Drive”:
    Egnyte folder
