Why teams connect Egnyte and MotherDuck

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

MotherDuck 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 MotherDuck, or a result in MotherDuck 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 Database Shares, Attached Local DuckDB Databases, Databases, Schemas in MotherDuck with Users, Groups, Permissions, Links 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 Share curated, synced datasets with other teams through read-only database shares
  • 02 Land CRM and operational database records in MotherDuck so a small team gets warehouse-style analytics without cluster management
  • 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

Where Egnyte receives the raw files: land them as query-ready rows

Files and exports that arrive in Egnyte are parsed into Database Shares, Attached Local DuckDB Databases, Databases, Schemas in MotherDuck as they land, so analysts query current data instead of waiting on the next scheduled load.

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

Curated tables and query results from MotherDuck 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 MotherDuck, a change on either side propagates to the other, ending the drift between the file people read and the table people query.

What you can sync between Egnyte and MotherDuck

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 MotherDuck objects How this pairing syncs
Files File content managed via the fs-content endpoint (upload/download, chunked for large files); synced two-way with other stores. Tables The main landing target for synced records and source for analysis. Files is specific to Egnyte and Tables to MotherDuck — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Folders Folder hierarchy managed via the fs endpoint (create, move, rename, delete); the tree structure is mirrored during sync. Views Modeled projections used as outbound sync sources. Folders is specific to Egnyte and Views to MotherDuck — 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. Database Shares Read-only copies of a database shared with other users or teams. Users is specific to Egnyte and Database Shares to MotherDuck — 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. Attached Local DuckDB Databases Local files attached alongside cloud databases for hybrid queries. Groups is specific to Egnyte and Attached Local DuckDB Databases to MotherDuck — 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. Databases Cloud-hosted DuckDB databases that scope a sync's reads and writes. Permissions is specific to Egnyte and Databases to MotherDuck — 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. Schemas Namespaces within a database used to organize synced tables. Links is specific to Egnyte and Schemas to MotherDuck — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Egnyte and MotherDuck

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 MotherDuck 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 applied to MotherDuck as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

MotherDuck Egnyte Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls MotherDuck for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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.
  • MotherDuck: Subject to the platform's compute and concurrency limits rather than per-request API rate limits.
