Why teams connect Egnyte and PostgreSQL
Keep PostgreSQL and Egnyte in step: a row in PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL 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 Custom Types and Enums, Tables, Views, Materialized Views in PostgreSQL with Users, Groups, Permissions, Links 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 Let an application write to its own database and have those rows appear as records in business systems in near real time
- 02 Consolidate data from several microservice databases into one operational Postgres store
- 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
A landing zone for incoming files
Files that arrive in a folder or bucket in Egnyte become rows in PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL 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.
A queryable index of the file store
Every file or object in Egnyte shows up as a row in PostgreSQL, 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.
What you can sync between Egnyte and PostgreSQL
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 | PostgreSQL objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Permissions Folder permissions listed, set, and removed via the Permissions API; effective permission for a user/folder is computable. | Custom Types and Enums Constrain synced values to a fixed set, mirroring picklist fields. | Permissions is specific to Egnyte and Custom Types and Enums to PostgreSQL — 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. | Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in connected SaaS systems. | Links is specific to Egnyte and Tables to PostgreSQL — 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. | Views Read-side projections used to expose joined or filtered data to a sync. | Metadata is specific to Egnyte and Views to PostgreSQL — 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. | Materialized Views Precomputed result sets synced outward on a refresh schedule. | Events and Audit reports is specific to Egnyte and Materialized Views to PostgreSQL — 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. | Schemas Namespaces that scope which tables a sync reads and writes. | Files is specific to Egnyte and Schemas to PostgreSQL — 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. | Columns Field-level mapping targets; types are mapped to the connected system's field types. | Folders is specific to Egnyte and Columns to PostgreSQL — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Egnyte and PostgreSQL
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 PostgreSQL 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 PostgreSQL as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
PostgreSQL Egnyte Sub-second propagation
DetectionChanges in PostgreSQL are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Logical replication (wal_level = logical) for change data capture via the "Postgres" connector.
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.
- PostgreSQL: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by connection limits, instance resources, and replication slot throughput.

FAQ
Egnyte and PostgreSQL integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Egnyte and PostgreSQL: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Egnyte's Permissions and Links), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
PostgreSQL: INSERT ... ON CONFLICT gives native upsert semantics, which makes inbound syncs idempotent against primary or unique keys. Egnyte: Effective folder permissions combine group and individual grants; the Permissions API can return the computed effective permission for a user on a folder. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Egnyte and PostgreSQL without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Egnyte and PostgreSQL records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Egnyte and PostgreSQL connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Egnyte–PostgreSQL integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Egnyte and PostgreSQL. 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 PostgreSQL: Logical replication (wal_level = logical) for change data capture via the "Postgres" connector; database triggers (TRIGGER grant + stacksync_logging schema) via the trigger-based "Postgres Heroku" connector where. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
