Why teams connect Egnyte and MySQL

Keep MySQL and Egnyte in step: a row in MySQL 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 MySQL 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 Primary and Unique Keys, JSON Columns, Stored Procedures, Triggers in MySQL with Metadata, Events and Audit reports, Files, Folders 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 Replicate ERP master data (customers, items, pricing) into the MySQL databases behind storefronts and portals
  • 02 Keep e-commerce orders in MySQL flowing into finance and fulfillment systems without export scripts
  • 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

A queryable index of the file store

Every file or object in Egnyte shows up as a row in MySQL, 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.

File metadata kept in step

Tags, custom properties, owner, or status columns edited on a row in MySQL 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.

Records that point at documents

Where a record in MySQL 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.

What you can sync between Egnyte and MySQL

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 MySQL objects How this pairing syncs
Links Shared file and folder links created, listed, and revoked via the Links API; useful for governing and auditing external sharing. Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Links is specific to Egnyte and Views to MySQL — 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. Columns Field-level mapping targets with engine-typed values. Metadata is specific to Egnyte and Columns to MySQL — 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. Primary and Unique Keys Match keys for idempotent upserts and conflict handling. Events and Audit reports is specific to Egnyte and Primary and Unique Keys to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Files File content managed via the fs-content endpoint (upload/download, chunked for large files); synced two-way with other stores. JSON Columns Validated semi-structured payloads for nested SaaS data. Files is specific to Egnyte and JSON Columns to MySQL — 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. Stored Procedures Server-side logic that can post-process synced rows. Folders is specific to Egnyte and Stored Procedures to MySQL — 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. Triggers An alternative change-capture mechanism when binlog access is unavailable. Users is specific to Egnyte and Triggers to MySQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Egnyte and MySQL

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 MySQL 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 MySQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

MySQL Egnyte Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in MySQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Database triggers — Stacksync creates deterministic triggers for internal logging and syncing (requires log_bin_trust_function_creators=ON when.

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.
  • MySQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits and server resources.
