Overview
Authenticated Connections are accounts that have been verified with the cloud-based or network-based platform when created. The connection can be user/password based or done through OAuth2 flow, where a token is generated based on the granting authorization to SkySync through a user login. This authorization allows SkySync access to the user's drive information (files and folder) on the platform. These connections are used as the source or the destination authentication to transfer your content.
OAuth2 Interactive (Web) Flow
Connectors such as Box, Google Drive, and Dropbox use the OAuth2 interactive (or web) flow.
OAuth2 Client Credentials Flow
Connections such as Google Workspace use the OAuth2 client credentials flow.
SharePoint
SharePoint (all versions, CSOM) uses a custom username/password authentication model.
