Introduction
DryvIQ is an enterprise data integration platform that enables organizations to maximize business value and productivity from their content. It connects disparate storage platforms and business applications together, allowing organizations to move, copy, synchronize, gather, and organize files as well as their related data across any system. DryvIQ empowers your users with unified access to the most relevant, complete, and up-to-date content—no matter where it resides.
DryvIQ delivers a user-friendly, web-based experience optimized for PC, tablet, and mobile phone interfaces, so you can monitor and control your file transfers anywhere, from any device.
DryvIQ’s true bi-directional hybrid/sync capabilities enable organizations to leverage and preserve content across on-premises systems and any cloud service. Seamless to users, new files/file changes from either system are automatically reflected in the other.
How does DryvIQ Work?
Cloud storage and collaboration platforms continue to be the driving force of digital transformation within the enterprise. However, users need to readily access the content that resides within your existing network file systems, ECM, and other storage platforms—enabling them to be productive, wherever they are. DryvIQ is purpose-built to provide boundless enterprise content integration possibilities. The DryvIQ Platform is 100% open and provides a highly-scalable architecture that enables enterprises to meet evolving technology and user demands—no matter how complex.
The DryvIQ platform provides:
A low risk approach to moving content to the cloud while maintaining on-premises systems
No impact to users, IT staff, business operations, or existing storage integrations
The ability to extend cloud storage anywhere/any device capabilities to locally-stored content
Easy integration of newly acquired business storage platforms into existing infrastructures
The Engine
DryvIQ’s bi-directional synchronization engine enables your enterprise to fully-integrate and synchronize your existing on-premises platforms with any cloud service. It empowers your users to freely access the content they need while IT staff maintains full governance and control. DryvIQ integrates with each system's published Application Program Interface (API) at the deepest level—optimizing transfer speeds and preserving all file attributes.
Security
DryvIQ’s 100% security-neutral model does not incorporate or use any type of proxy cloud service or other intermediary presence point. All content and related data is streamed directly via HTTPS [256-bit encryption] from the origin to the destination system(s). Additionally, DryvIQ works with native database encryption. For more information, please see DryvIQ Platform | Security Whitepaper
Analyzer | Simulation Mode
The DryvIQ analyzer is a powerful enterprise file transfer simulation that eliminates the guesswork. You will gain granular insight into your entire content landscape including its structure, usage, age, type, applicable metadata, and more no matter where the files are located (in local storage, remote offices, or on user desktops).
Simulation mode allows you to create a job with all desired configuration options set and execute it as a dry-run. In this mode, no data transfers, no permissions are set, and no changes are made to either the source or the destination. This can be useful in answering several questions about your content prior to running any jobs against your content.
Command and Control
Via highly-advanced web, DryvIQ Command-line Interface (CLI), RESTful API, and/or .NET interfaces, DryvIQ administrators can easily integrate systems, control interactions and behaviors, or create and control end-user experiences for advanced self-service capabilities.
Features and Functionality
The DryvIQ Platform enables you with complete integration and control over:
User accounts
User networked home drives
User and group permissions
Document types, notes, and file attributes
Timestamps
Versions
Departmental, project, and team folders
Defined and custom metadata
Architecture and Performance
The DryvIQ platform is built on a pluggable, content–streaming architecture that enables highly–automated file/data transfer and synchronization capabilities for up to billions of files. File bytes stream in from one connection endpoint (defined by the administrator) and across a customer-owned and operated network and/or cloud service. They are then streamed out to a second connection endpoint. Content can also flow bidirectionally across two endpoints rather than solely from an "origin" to a "destination."
Supported Features
The DryvIQ Platform Comparison tool allows you to compare platform features and technical details to determine which are supported for your transfer scenario. Viewing the Platform Comparison results for your integration will display a list of features of each platform and provide insight early in the integration planning process on what details may need further investigation.
The Platform Comparison tool is available through the Platforms menu options. For further information, see Platform Comparison.
Connection Setup
DryvIQ is built on a concept of connections. A connection is made to the source platform, and another connection is made to the destination platform. 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 DryvIQ is “playing by the rules” for each platform.
Connections “connect” to a platform as a specific user account. The user account requires the proper permissions to the platform to read, write, update, and/or delete the content based on the actions the DryvIQ job is to perform. The connection user account should also be set up so the password does not expire; otherwise, the connection will no longer be able to access the platform until the connection has been refreshed with the new password. Most connections require a specific user account and its corresponding password. The user account is typically an email address.
Authenticated Connections
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 DryvIQ through a user login. This authorization allows DryvIQ 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 Syncplicity and Google Workspace uses the OAuth2 client credentials flow.
SharePoint
SharePoint (all versions, CSOM) uses a custom username/password authentication model.
OAuth2 Interactive (Web) Flow
You will need the following information when creating a connection to Network File System, Box, Dropbox, and Dropbox for Business:
A name for the connection
The account User ID (such as jsmith@company.com)
The password for the User ID.
Create Connections
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.
Network File Share (NFS)
The NFS connector in DryvIQ has specific permission-related requirements beyond that of the connector Identity. Additional configuration may be needed to allow DryvIQ to use of the NFS Connector.
Prepare a DryvIQ Manager Service account
When a DryvIQ Job runs, it is the DryvIQ Manager Service that is connecting to and accessing the content on the NFS platform. Therefore, the DryvIQ Manager Service needs to be running as a domain account that has the proper permissions to access the content that will be managed by DryvIQ.
Review the DryvIQ Manager/Server Installation documentation to learn about Configuring DryvIQ and pay particular attention to the Configure Windows Service section.
For proper job function, the account requires Read, Write, Update and Delete privileges.
SQL Server (Optional) |
|---|
You can optionally create the database before running the installer:
|
*Please see the following documentation: DryvIQ Platform | Infrastructure & Hardware Considerations
Prepare Source environment
Create a Windows domain user account that will be used for the migration and grant main admin privileges to that user on the file server.
Ensure the account used to create the NFS Connector has all necessary permissions to edit, copy, delete, and create files and folders.
If using IP, ensure that the IP is static and will not change.
Create an NFS Connection
Select Connections > Add connection.
Select Network File Share as the platform on the Add connection modal.
Enter the connection information. Reference the table below for details about each field.
Test the connection to ensure DryvIQ can connect using the information entered.
Select Done.
Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
Display as | Enter the display name for the connection. If you will be creating multiple connections, ensure the name readily identifies the connection. The name displays in the application, and you can use it to search for the connection and filter lists. If you do not add a display name, the connection will automatically be assigned a default name. | Optional |
UNC Path | Enter the UNC path for the connector. The UNC path will be to a folder at least 1 level off the root of the server, for example: \\<server name>\<folder on server> You can also use the server IP address, for example: \\<ipaddress>\<folder on server> You can locate the information by going to Windows>Control Panel>System and Security>System. | Required |
User Name | Enter the user name for the administrator account. You should leave this field blank if you are using integrated authentication. This needs to be an account with authority to access the content you will to process. *When creating a NFS connection with a UNC Path containing unicode characters (i.e. \\test\あああ), User Name and Password are REQUIRED. | Optional* |
Password | Enter the password for the administrator account. You should leave this field blank if you are using integrated authentication. *When creating a NFS connection with a UNC Path containing unicode characters (i.e. \\test\あああ), User Name and Password are REQUIRED | Optional* |
Features and Limitations
Platforms all have unique features and limitations. DryvIQ’s transfer engine manages these differences between platforms and allows you to configure actions based on Job Policies and Behaviors. Utilize the Platform Comparison tool to see how your integration platforms may interact regarding features and limitations.
The maximum length of any folder or file name is 32767
The maximum path length is 32767
No trailing spaces in folder names, file names, or file extensions
No trailing periods
Any non-printable ASCII characters will not be filtered by DryvIQ
Restricted characters in the file name: < > : " / \ | ? *
When creating a Connector, it must be one level down from the root. Example, C:/1st folder
Author Preservation | Windows Only
Author Preservation for Network File Share is only supported for Windows only.
The NFS account owner can be identified in Properties → Security → Advanced → Advanced Security Settings.
Verify the Windows environment has long path support enabled.
(Local Computer Policy → Computer Configuration → Administrative Templates → All Settings → Enable Win32 long paths).
Refer to Microsoft's Maximum Path Length Limitation documentation for more information.
.net core supports long paths, however functions that retrieve permissions for individual files still use old Win32 system calls. Long path support with these functions is not enabled by default.
Without long path support enabled, you will see the exception ‘invalid parameter: name’ in the log file or in the application user interface log tab when attempting to get permissions on files with long paths.
Permissions
When applying permissions to FS/NFS, DryvIQ sets read access permission to "Read and Execute" rather than just "Read."
NFS Connection Troubleshooting for Microsoft Windows
When DryvIQ is running on Microsoft Windows, there are some nuances that may affect creating an NFS connection.
Multiple NFS Connections
You cannot create multiple connections to the same location UNC path and multiple users when DryvIQ is running on Windows. The connection creation will fail for the second user because the DryvIQ application uses an underlying Windows mechanism that requires unique names for each connection. If a connection to the same location but different user is needed, a workaround is to use the domain name in the UNC path for one connection and the IP address in the UNC path for the second connection.
Failed Connection Tests after Correcting Username or Password
There is an underlying Microsoft Windows issue that can cause issues when creating NFS connections. If an attempt is made to create a new NFS connection using an invalid username/password. The connection test will fail, which is expected behavior. Immediately entering the correct username/password may still result in a failed connection test even though it should pass. To prevent this issue, wait about 15 seconds after entering the correct username/password before running the connection test. The extra time allows Windows time to clear out the incorrect credentials and recognize the correct ones that were provided.

}Google Workspace
The Google Workspace (formally G Suite) connector in DryvIQ allows you to analyze, migrate, copy, and synchronize files between your Google Workspace account and cloud storage repositories and on-premise network file shares. The first step is to create the Google Workspace connection by providing the connection information required for DryvIQ to connect to the platform/server.
Creating connection | User Interface
Select Connections > Add connection.
Select Google Workspace as the platform on the Add connection modal.
Enter the connection information. Reference the table below for details about each field.
Test the connection to ensure DryvIQ can connect using the information entered.
You will see a "Connection test succeeded" message on the Add connection modal when DryvIQ establishes connection. (If you don't see this message, verify the information you entered.)
Select Done.
Add connection modal - Google Workspace
Field | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
Display as | Enter the display name for the connection. If you will be creating multiple connections, ensure the name readily identifies the connection. The name displays in the application, and you can use it to search for the connection and filter lists. The maximum length is 255 characters. | Optional |
Service account email | Enter the email address created during the Service Account creation process. It will resemble <service-account-name>@<project-id>.iam.gserviceaccount.com | Required |
Private key | Enter the x509 private key. This is the value created when creating the new private key when creating a new Service Account in the Google IAM & admin Console. It will begin with -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- and end with -----END PRIVATE KEY-----. You can click the Choose a file on your computer link to import the key from a file on your computer. Use the file upload dialog that appears to locate the file that contains the key you want to use. | Required |
Drive Space | Select the level where the connection should be made. My Drive: This is the default entry. When selected, the connection will be made at the "My Drive" (the highest) level of the account. Unorganized: Selecting this option creates the connection to the unorganized content in the account. Unorganized files are files that are orphaned. This means the file exists but isn’t a part of a file structure. This happens when parent folders get deleted. These files can only be found by searching the drive for "is:unorganized owner:me." Shared with me: This creates the connection to the shared content (content available through the "Shared with me" menu option within the account). |
|
Subject email | Enter the email address for the account whose data will be transferred. This is the "sub" claim on the JSON Web Token that DryvIQ will use to connect with Google Workspace. If you create a job using impersonation (“run as”), that setting will override the account added here. | Required |
Domain | Enter the target domain name. For example, your-domain.com. If you do not include the domain for the Subject Email, you must include the domain in this field. This domain will then be used as the domain for the account. | Optional |
Token uri | Enter the custom authentication URI. If not supplied, the default is used - https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token. | Optional |
Preserve content type | Indicate if DryvIQ should try to preserve files in their original content type. This feature is mainly used for Google to Google transfers. The default value is No. This means that an upload content type is not specified. Most files will still preserve content types. However, Google native documents and Microsoft Office files will transfer as Microsoft Office files. Selecting Yes will preserve files in their original content type. Google native documents will transfer as Google native documents. Microsoft Office files will transfer as Microsoft Office files. | Optional |
Import as Google native documents | Indicate if DryvIQ should import Microsoft Office documents as Google documents. This feature is mainly used when transferring from any platform, such as Box to Google. The default value is No. This means Microsoft Office files will be preserved as their original content type. Selecting Yes will import all Microsoft Office files as Google native documents. | Optional |
Behavior when deleting files
| Select the type of delete DryvIQ should perform when deleting items: Permanent or Soft. Soft delete is the default delete behavior; however, Permanent is the recommended behavior. A soft delete marks items as a deleted. You can still access them to restore or permanently delete the items. A permanent delete removes the items. This delete is not reversible. | Optional |
Allow file discovery | Indicate if files with shared links should be searchable. The default value is No. This means that only users with whom the file has been shared can find and access the file. Selecting Yes sets the "People can search for this file" setting in the file link settings to TRUE. This means any files with shared links can be found and accessed by any user through the search. | Optional |
Read-only Access | Specify if the connection should be created with read-only access. The default value is No. This means the connection will be created with the full access granted to the account used to create the connection. Selecting Yes creates the account with read-only access. The configuration for the Google account used to create the connection must match the access level for the read-only access to properly be applied. | Optional |
Features and Limitations
Platforms all have unique features and limitations. DryvIQ’s transfer engine manages these differences between platforms and allows you to configure actions based on Job Policies and Behaviors. Utilize the Platform Comparison tool to see how your integration platforms may interact regarding features and limitations.
Files and Folders
Below is list of supported and unsupported features as well as additional file/folder restrictions.
Supported | Not Supported | Other Features and Limitations |
|---|---|---|
File size maximum: 5 TB | ||
Path length maximum: None | ||
| Segment path length: 500 | |
| Restricted types: See Other Restrictions below. | |
| No leading spaces in file name/folder name | |
| No trailing spaces before or after file extensions | |
|
|
Path Lengths
Google Workspace does not impose restrictions for the total path length.
Segment path lengths are limited to 500 character. Segments are delimited by a forward slash (/). For example, <max 500 characters>/<max 500 characters>.
Other Restrictions and Limitations
Google Workspace also has the following restrictions and limitations for content. DryvIQ will handle the content as indicated.
Non-Transferable File Types and Elements
The following file types and elements cannot be transferred.
Sites, Forms, Fusion Tables, My Maps and Google Workspace Marketplace are all files that are not transferable.
Comments in Docs, Sheets, and Slides are not transferable.
Google Docs
Native Google documents will be handled as indicated below.
Although some platforms such as Box and Dropbox support Google Docs, DryvIQ does not currently support transferring them to Google Workspace.
When transferring Google Docs from Google Workspace to another platform, DryvIQ will export the documents as Microsoft Office documents.
Google Forms, Fusion Tables, Sites and My Maps are not available for download in Google Workspace. This means DryvIQ is prevented from transferring these items. Expected behavior is the item will be flagged with the error message "IO Violation and message:Downloading content is not supported for file...".
Microsoft Office Documents
When transferring Microsoft Office documents to Google Workspace, you can choose to either keep their original format or import them as Google Docs when setting up the connection.
Create Connection | Multiple Domains
DryvIQ supports creating a connection with access to multiple domains within an enterprise.
Ensure to use an Admin account that has full access to the corresponding domains.
Omit the domain name when creating the connection.
Use the admin account as the subject / Subject email when creating the connection.
Create connection | REST API
The sample code below shows how to create a Google Workspace connection that uses impersonation. Make sure the following fields are set accordingly.
The id should be google-suite.
The client_email should be the Google Workspace Admin Service Account.
The subject should be the email for the user you would like to impersonate.
{
"name": "Google Workspace Service Account (Admin Connection)",
"type": "service_account",
"project_id": "your-project-id",
"platform": {
"id": "google-suite"
},
"auth": {
"private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----...-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
"client_email": "jd-service@your-project-id.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
"client_id": "12345678901234567890",
"subject": "jdeveloper@example.com,"
"delete_behavior": "permanent"
}
}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 two 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.
Connection pooling is not supported with My Computer and Network File System (NFS) connection.
User and Group Maps
A user account or group map provides the ability to explicitly associate users and groups for the purposes of setting ownership and permissions on items transferred. These mappings can happen automatically using rules or explicitly using an exception. Accounts or groups can be excluded by specifying an exclusion, and unmapped users can be defaulted to a known user. For more information, see Permissions | Account Map / Group Map.
Here are a few things to consider when creating an account or group map:
A source and destination connection are required and need to match the source and destination of the job that will be referencing the user or group map.
A map can be created before or during the creation of the job.
A map can be used across multiple jobs.
Once updated, the updates will not be reapplied to content that has already been transferred.
User and Group Map Import Templates
Please see Account Map / Group Map | CSV File Guidelines for map templates and sample downloads. You can use these samples to help you build you own mapping files.
User & Group Map Exceptions
A user or group map exception provides the ability to explicitly map a specific user from one platform to another. These are exceptions to the automatic account or group mapping policies specified. User account or group map exceptions can be defined during the creation of the map or can be imported from a comma-separated values (CSV) file. See Account Map / Group Map | Exceptions for more information.
User and Group Map Exclusions
A user or group map exclusion provides the ability to explicitly exclude an account or group from owner or permissions preservation. User account or group map exclusions can be defined during the creation of the map or can be imported from a comma-separated values (CSV) file. See Account Map / Group Map | Exclusions for more information.
Transfer Planner
At the start of a project, it is common to begin planning with questions like "How long should I expect this to take?" Transfer Planner allows you to outline the basic assumptions of any integration, primarily around the initial content copy at the beginning of a migration or first synchronization. It uses basic assumptions to begin visualization of the process without requiring any setup of connections or jobs.
The tool estimates and graphs a time line to complete the transfer based on the information entered in the Assumptions area. The timeline assumes a start date of today and uses the values in the Assumptions section to model the content transfer. The window displays projected Total Transfer in dark blue and Daily Transfer Rate in light blue. Hovering the mouse pointer over the graph displays estimated transfer details for that day. The timeline recalculates if you change any of the values, making simple “what if?” scenario evaluations. If necessary, you can reset the timeline to display the default values for the transfer planner tool.
Note that the Transfer Planner is primarily driven by the amount of data needing to be processed. DryvIQ has various tools for transferring versions of files (if the platform supports this feature), which can increase the size of your data set. It also has the ability to filter out specific files by their type or by other rules you set. At this stage, a rough estimate of total size is recommended as it can refined later using Simulation Mode.
Simulation Mode
Simulation mode allows you to create a job with all desired configuration options set and execute it as a dry-run. In this mode, no data transfers, no permissions are set, and no changes are made to either the source or the destination. This can be useful in answering several questions about your content prior to running any jobs against your content.
How much content do I have?
An important first step in any migration is to determine how much content you actually have since this can help determine how long a migration will take.
What kinds of content do I have?
Another important step in any migration is to determine what kinds of content you actually have. Many organizations have accumulated a lot of content, and some of that may not be useful on the destination platform. The results of a simulation mode job can help you determine if you should introduce any filter rules to narrow the scope of the job. An example would be if you should exclude executable files (.exe or .bat files) or exclude files older than 3 years old.
What kinds of issues should I expect to run into?
During the course of a migration, there are many things to consider and unknown issues that can arise, many of which will only present themselves once you start doing something with the source and destination. Running a job in simulation mode can help you identify some of those issues before you actually start transferring content. Examples can include:
Are my user mappings configured correctly?
Does the scope of the job capture everything I expected it to capture?
Do I have files that are too large for the destination platform?
Do I have permissions that are incompatible with the destination platform (i.e. ACL vs waterfall)?
Do I have files or folders that are too long or contain invalid characters that the destination platform will not accept?
Creating a Simulation Job
During the last stage of the job creation process, you have the option to enable simulation mode. When a job is in simulation mode, it can be run and scheduled like any other job, but no data will be transferred.
Transitioning a Simulation Job to Transfer Content
After review, a simulation job can be transitioned to a live job that will begin to transfer your content to the destination platform.
Creating a Job
DryvIQ delivers a user-friendly, web-based experience optimized for PC, tablet, and mobile phone interfaces, so you can monitor and control your file transfers anywhere, from any device.
DryvIQ’s true bi-directional hybrid/sync capabilities enable organizations to leverage and preserve content across on-premises systems and any cloud service. Seamless to users, new files/file changes from either system are automatically reflected in the other.
DryvIQ uses jobs to perform specific actions between the source and destination platforms. The most common type of jobs are copy and sync; please see Create New Job | Transfer Direction for more information. All jobs can be configured to run manually or on a defined schedule. This option will be presented as the last configuration step.
To create a job, select the Jobs option from the left menu and click on Create Job. DryvIQ will lead you through a wizard to select all the applicable options for your scenario.
The main job creation steps include:
Selecting a Job Type
Configuring Locations
