Two-way sync
Changes in Egnyte or MongoDB instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Keep Egnyte and MongoDB in sync without custom scripts. Cut weeks of integration work, eliminate silent data drift, and give your team a single, reliable source of truth.
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 MongoDB 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 Indexes, Views, Change streams, GridFS files in MongoDB with Permissions, Links, Metadata, Events and Audit reports 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.
Every file or object in Egnyte shows up as a row in MongoDB, with its name, folder or key, size, type, and modified date as columns, so the contents of the store can be listed, filtered, and joined like any other table.
Tags, custom properties, owner, or status columns edited on a row in MongoDB write back to the matching file's metadata in Egnyte, and metadata changed in Egnyte updates the row, so the two never disagree about a file.
Where a record in MongoDB 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.
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 | MongoDB objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Folders Folder hierarchy managed via the fs endpoint (create, move, rename, delete); the tree structure is mirrored during sync. | Indexes Keep lookups by sync key fast on large collections. | Folders is specific to Egnyte and Indexes to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Users Accounts managed via the Users API; provisioned, updated, and deactivated in sync with an HRIS or identity provider. | Views Read-only aggregation-defined sources for filtered sync datasets. | Users is specific to Egnyte and Views to MongoDB — 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. | Change streams The oplog-backed event feed that powers real-time change capture. | Groups is specific to Egnyte and Change streams to MongoDB — 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. | GridFS files Chunked file storage whose metadata can be referenced by synced documents. | Permissions is specific to Egnyte and GridFS files to MongoDB — 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. | Databases Logical groupings of collections that scope a sync connection. | Links is specific to Egnyte and Databases to MongoDB — 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. | Collections The table-like sync unit; each collection maps to a table or object in the paired system. | Metadata is specific to Egnyte and Collections to MongoDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
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.
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 applied to MongoDB as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
DetectionChanges in MongoDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. MongoDB oplog and change streams (requires the database to run as a replica set — even single-node).
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Egnyte through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Real-time sync, workflow automation, event queues, EDI, and monitoring, for every Egnyte–MongoDB connection.
Changes in Egnyte or MongoDB instantly reflect in both systems. No stale data, no manual imports.
Trigger automated workflows whenever Egnyte or MongoDB data changes, update records, fire webhooks, or kick off sequences without brittle API scripts.
Handle millions of events per minute without losing a single Egnyte or MongoDB record.
Track your Egnyte ⇄ MongoDB sync health, view errors, and replay failed events in one click.
Transform legacy EDI complexity into simple database interactions between Egnyte and MongoDB.
Configure and sync within minutes, no code. Whether you sync 50k or 100M+ records, Stacksync handles the queues, infra, and plumbing. Integrations are non-invasive and need zero setup on your systems.
Authenticate Egnyte and MongoDB with each platform's native method — OAuth, API keys, or service accounts — plus secure options like SSH tunneling, IP whitelisting, and VPC peering.
Pick the Egnyte and MongoDB objects to sync — Stacksync auto-detects both schemas, including custom fields where the platform exposes them. Sync to existing tables, or let Stacksync create new ones with ideal data types.
Fields map automatically even when names and types differ. Stacksync handles transformation and type casting for you, zero configuration required.
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Egnyte and MongoDB: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Egnyte's Folders and Users), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Egnyte and MongoDB. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
Change detection on Egnyte: Events API polled with an incremental cursor (Egnyte recommends an interval of 5 minutes or more), or Webhooks push notifications for fs, metadata, permission, and comment events. On MongoDB: MongoDB oplog and change streams (requires the database to run as a replica set — even single-node); Stacksync leverages these built-in tools to track changes in real time. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
On the MongoDB side: Indexes, Views, Change streams, GridFS files, plus custom fields where MongoDB exposes them. On the Egnyte side: Permissions, Links, Metadata, Events and Audit reports. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
Common patterns for Egnyte and MongoDB: A queryable index of the file store; File metadata kept in step; Records that point at documents. Every file or object in Egnyte shows up as a row in MongoDB, with its name, folder or key, size, type, and modified date as columns, so the contents of the store can be listed, filtered, and joined like any other table.
