Why teams connect Egnyte and SQL Server

Keep SQL Server and Egnyte in step: a row in SQL Server 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 SQL Server 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 Tables, Views, Columns, Primary and Unique Keys in SQL Server 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 Expose SaaS records as SQL Server tables that existing SSRS reports and internal apps can query
  • 02 Mirror on-premises ERP data held in SQL Server into cloud CRM and support systems
  • 03 Provision and deprovision Egnyte Users and Groups from an HRIS or IdP so folder access follows employee onboarding and offboarding.
  • 04 Two-way sync of Files and Folders between Egnyte and an operational database or another content store, keeping the folder hierarchy aligned.

Common sync patterns

A queryable index of the file store

Every file or object in Egnyte shows up as a row in SQL Server, 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 SQL Server 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 SQL Server 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 SQL Server

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 SQL Server objects How this pairing syncs
Groups Groups and membership managed via the Groups API; kept aligned with directory or IdP groups that drive folder access. Schemas Namespaces (dbo and custom) used to organize synced tables. Groups is specific to Egnyte and Schemas to SQL Server — 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. Tables The primary sync target; rows map to records in connected systems. Permissions is specific to Egnyte and Tables to SQL Server — 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. Views Read-side projections used as outbound sync sources. Links is specific to Egnyte and Views to SQL Server — 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 T-SQL types. Metadata is specific to Egnyte and Columns to SQL Server — 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 SQL Server — 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. CDC Change Tables System-populated tables holding captured inserts, updates, and deletes for consumers. Files is specific to Egnyte and CDC Change Tables to SQL Server — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Egnyte and SQL Server

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

SQL Server Egnyte Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in SQL Server are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SQL Server Native Change Data Capture (CDC).

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.
  • SQL Server: No API rate limits; throughput depends on instance resources, licensing tier, and connection limits.
