The Citrix ShareFile My Files & Folders connector in SkySync DryvIQ allows you to analyze, migrate, copy, and synchronize files between personal folders of your ShareFile account and cloud storage repositories and on-premise network file shares. The first step is to create the connection to the ShareFile account by providing the connection information required for SkySync DryvIQ to connect to the platform/server. The connector can be created using any user account with permissions to access the content.
