Why teams connect Egnyte and Firebase

Keep Firebase and Egnyte in step: a row in Firebase for every file in Egnyte, with names, paths, metadata, and status staying consistent in real time, in both directions.

A database holds structured records; a storage system holds the files those records depend on, such as contracts, images, exports, uploads, and documents. The two describe the same things from opposite sides: a row in Firebase says a file exists and carries its name, location, and status, while Egnyte holds the bytes. Linked only by a hand-kept path or a one-off script, the two drift the moment a file is renamed, moved, or deleted and the record still points at where it used to be.

Stacksync syncs Firestore Collections, Firestore Documents, Subcollections, Realtime Database Nodes in Firebase with Groups, Permissions, Links, Metadata in Egnyte bi-directionally and in real time. File attributes, including name, path or object key, size, type, modified time, owner, and tags or custom properties, map field by field to columns on the matching row, and a change on either side shows up on the other within seconds. New files appear as rows, metadata edits travel in the direction you choose, and deletes stay consistent, with conflict rules you set in place of nightly reconciliation scripts.

Common use cases

  • 01 Combine Firebase Authentication users with billing and CRM records into one customer table.
  • 02 Replace one-off Cloud Functions export code with managed, continuous sync.
  • 03 Two-way sync of Files and Folders between Egnyte and an operational database or another content store, keeping the folder hierarchy aligned.
  • 04 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.

Common sync patterns

Records that point at documents

Where a record in Firebase references a file in Egnyte, such as a contract, an image, an export, or an upload, the reference, path, and status stay consistent as files are renamed, moved, or replaced, so stored links keep resolving.

A landing zone for incoming files

Files that arrive in a folder or bucket in Egnyte become rows in Firebase as they land, so a database-driven process can pick them up without polling the storage system's API.

Continuous archival to file storage

Rows from Firebase are written out to Egnyte as files on a schedule or as they change, giving a durable, low-cost copy for backup, compliance, or a data lake, without a custom export job to maintain.

What you can sync between Egnyte and Firebase

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.

Egnyte objects Firebase objects How this pairing syncs
Users Accounts managed via the Users API; provisioned, updated, and deactivated in sync with an HRIS or identity provider. Authentication Users User accounts read into CRMs and warehouses for customer records. Users is specific to Egnyte and Authentication Users to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Groups Groups and membership managed via the Groups API; kept aligned with directory or IdP groups that drive folder access. Cloud Storage Objects Files referenced from documents; usually synced as metadata plus URLs. Groups is specific to Egnyte and Cloud Storage Objects to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Permissions Folder permissions listed, set, and removed via the Permissions API; effective permission for a user/folder is computable. Cloud Functions Triggers Server-side hooks that fire on document changes and can push updates outward. Permissions is specific to Egnyte and Cloud Functions Triggers to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Links Shared file and folder links created, listed, and revoked via the Links API; useful for governing and auditing external sharing. Firestore Collections Top-level groupings of documents that a sync maps to tables or SaaS objects. Links is specific to Egnyte and Firestore Collections to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Metadata Custom metadata keys and project fields on files/folders via the Metadata API; written for classification and read back for reporting. Firestore Documents Schemaless JSON-like records, the primary unit synced to and from external systems. Metadata is specific to Egnyte and Firestore Documents to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Events and Audit reports File, login, permission, and sharing activity read via the Events API and Audit Reporting API; consumed read-only for compliance. Subcollections Nested collections under documents, typically flattened into related tables during sync. Events and Audit reports is specific to Egnyte and Subcollections to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Egnyte and Firebase

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.

Egnyte Firebase 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 Firebase through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Firebase Egnyte Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Firebase for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Real-time snapshot listeners on Firestore queries and Cloud Functions triggers on document changes.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • 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.
  • Firebase: Subject to Firestore's documented operation quotas and per-document write throughput limits.
