Overview
A connection is how you grant DryvIQ access to the content in your Box account. You will provide the connection information required for DryvIQ to connect to the platform/server. This grants DryvIQ access to the account so it can scan and analyze the content based on the policies you create.
Creating a Connection
Select Content from the main menu.
Verify you are on the Connections tab.
Select Add connection.
Select Amazon S3 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 to finish creating the connection.
