Why teams connect AWS S3 and Egnyte

Bridge query-ready tables and stored files: AWS S3 and Egnyte keep the same records in step, in real time, in both directions.

AWS S3 keeps the tables and query results a business reports on; Egnyte keeps the raw files, documents, and objects that the same business produces and shares. The two overlap wherever a dataset lives as both — a file dropped in Egnyte that has to become rows in AWS S3, or a result in AWS S3 that people downstream need back as a file in Egnyte. When that overlap is bridged by manual export and import or an overnight job, one side spends the day working from a stale copy.

Stacksync syncs Object Versions, Event Notifications, Access Points, Multipart Uploads in AWS S3 with Events and Audit reports, Files, Folders, Users in Egnyte field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields; Stacksync keeps every copy consistent and resolves conflicts by rules you set.

Common use cases

  • 01 Archive change history from ongoing syncs as timestamped files for audit and replay.
  • 02 Ingest partner or vendor file drops (CSV, JSON, Parquet) from a bucket into a database or CRM as records.
  • 03 Write custom Metadata such as classification tags and project fields onto Files and Folders from a governance or DMS system, and read it back for reporting.
  • 04 Mirror folder Permissions from a directory or access-management system so entitlements stay consistent across teams.

Common sync patterns

Where Egnyte is the shared drive: publish results back as files

Curated tables and query results from AWS S3 are written to Egnyte as files the rest of the business can open, keeping the shared copy current without a hand-run export.

One dataset, kept consistent both ways

Where the same dataset lives as a file in Egnyte and a table in AWS S3, a change on either side propagates to the other, ending the drift between the file people read and the table people query.

Where Egnyte holds the file inventory: make it queryable

The catalog of documents, owners, and folders in Egnyte appears as Object Versions, Event Notifications, Access Points, Multipart Uploads in AWS S3, so file metadata can be joined against the rest of your data and reported on.

What you can sync between AWS S3 and Egnyte

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

AWS S3 objects Egnyte objects How this pairing syncs
Objects The stored files (CSV, JSON, Parquet); syncs read them as datasets or write exports into them. Permissions Folder permissions listed, set, and removed via the Permissions API; effective permission for a user/folder is computable. Objects is specific to AWS S3 and Permissions to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Prefixes Key-name paths used to partition synced datasets, since S3 has no real directories. Links Shared file and folder links created, listed, and revoked via the Links API; useful for governing and auditing external sharing. Prefixes is specific to AWS S3 and Links to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object Metadata System and user-defined metadata read alongside object contents. Metadata Custom metadata keys and project fields on files/folders via the Metadata API; written for classification and read back for reporting. Object Metadata is specific to AWS S3 and Metadata to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Object Versions Prior copies retained when versioning is enabled, relevant for reprocessing. Events and Audit reports File, login, permission, and sharing activity read via the Events API and Audit Reporting API; consumed read-only for compliance. Object Versions is specific to AWS S3 and Events and Audit reports to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Event Notifications Notifications on object creation or deletion that trigger incremental processing. Files File content managed via the fs-content endpoint (upload/download, chunked for large files); synced two-way with other stores. Event Notifications is specific to AWS S3 and Files to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Access Points Scoped network endpoints used to grant a sync narrow access to a bucket. Folders Folder hierarchy managed via the fs endpoint (create, move, rename, delete); the tree structure is mirrored during sync. Access Points is specific to AWS S3 and Folders to Egnyte — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between AWS S3 and Egnyte

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

AWS S3 Egnyte Sub-second propagation

DetectionAWS S3 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. S3 Event Notifications on object create/delete delivered to SQS, SNS, Lambda, or EventBridge.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Egnyte through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Egnyte AWS S3 Sub-second propagation

DetectionEgnyte notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Events API polled with an incremental cursor (Egnyte recommends an interval of 5 minutes or more), or Webhooks push notifications for fs, metadata,.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to AWS S3 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • AWS S3: Request throughput scales per prefix; sustained high-volume workloads should spread keys across prefixes.
  • Egnyte: Auto-generated keys default to 2 requests/second and 1,000 requests/day, enforced per access token; monitor X-Accesstoken-Qps-Current/Allotted and X-Accesstoken-Quota-Current headers; higher limits on request.
