Egnyte with Wasabi

Egnyte Content Cloud powers flexible collaboration, secure intelligence, and built-in governance that enable teams to work more efficiently, uncover insights faster, and safeguard data across the entire content lifecycle. Wasabi has been validated for use as an external replication destination with Egnyte.

Prerequisites

• An Egnyte account

  • The end-user must have a Secure & Govern Tenant

  • Feature is available as a standalone add-on for Enterprise Lite, Enterprise, Essentials, Elite, and Ultimate plans

• An active Wasabi account

  • Wasabi Bucket - See Working With Buckets and Objects

  • Access & Secret Key Pair - See our Access Keys Guide

Configuring Wasabi for External Replication

Before a Wasabi bucket can be used as an External Replication destination, the user permission policy must be set accordingly. Please create a user permission policy according to the steps below in order to allow Egnyte to replicate the data to the Wasabi bucket and assign it to the desired user.

For more information, review Creating a Policy.
