Overview 

DryvIQ is built on the concept of connections. Authenticated connections are accounts that have been verified with the cloud-based or network-based platform when created. The connection can be made using a specific user account (typically an email address) and its corresponding password, or, where supported, the connection can be made using OAuth 2.0 authorization (where a token is generated based on the granting authorization to DryvIQ through a user login). This authorization allows DryvIQ access to the user's drive information (files and folder) on the platform.

A connection is made to the source platform, and another connection is made to the destination platform. Next, a job is created to tie the two platforms together. When DryvIQ connects to a content platform, it does so by using the publicly available Application Programming Interface (API) for the specific platform. This ensures that DryvIQ is “playing by the rules” for each platform.

Creating a Connection

Creating a connection in the DryvIQ Platform user-interface is easy! Simply add a connection, select your platform, and enter the requested information. DryvIQ will securely validate your credentials and connect to your source content.

4. Select the platform from the list.

5. Enter the required information. Refer to the platform-specific documentation for the connections you need to create to understand the information required to create your connections.

6. Sign into the account or test the connection.

7. You will see a green "Connected” message on the bottom of the modal when DryvIQ establishes connection. (If the connection fails, verify the information you entered.)

8. Click Done to finish creating the connection.

9. The connection will be added to the Connections page.

Info
If a connection name is too long to display fully, you can hover on the name. This will display a pop-up that displays the full name of the item.

Connection Pooling

When transferring data between a source and destination, there are a number of factors that can limit the transfer speed. Most cloud providers have rate limitations that reduce the transfer rate, but if those limits are account based and it supports impersonation, DryvIQ can create a pool of accounts that issues commands in a round-robin format across all the accounts connected to the pool. Any modifications to the connection pool will used on the next job run. For example, if a connection pool has 2 accounts, all commands will be alternated between them. If a third account is added to the pool, the next run of the job will use all three accounts.
