The managed Network File System (NFS) connector allows you to analyze your on-premises network file shares. It uses SMBLibrary to make the connection (which performs faster than the native Samba). Because this connector is created with read-only access, the connection will be able to read content but cannot be used to take action against it. Therefore, the connector can be used as a source connection for Migrate jobs or for Discover scans and Govern policies where DryvIQ only needs to read content. The connector should not be used as the destination connection for Migrate jobs or for Govern policies that require actions to be taken against content.
