Citrix ShareFile Shared Folders

Overview
The Shared Folders section of your ShareFile account contains all folders you created and all folders you have been granted access to. The Citrix ShareFile Shared Folders connector in DryvIQ allows you to analyze, migrate, copy, and synchronize files between this content and cloud storage repositories and on-premise network file shares. The first step is to create the connection to the ShareFile account by providing the connection information required for DryvIQ to connect to the platform/server. The connector can be created using any user account with permissions to access the content.
Creating a Connection
Expand the Manage section in the left navigation menu.
Click Connections.
Click Add connection.
Select Citrix ShareFile Shared Folders as the platform on the Add connection modal.
Enter the connection information. Reference the table below for details about each field.
Click Sign in with Citrix ShareFile Shared Folders.
On the ShareFile Login page, enter your account’s subdomain and click Continue.
Next, enter the email address and password required to log in to the ShareFile account and click Sign In.
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.)
Click 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 named using the account name for the connection. For example, Citrix ShareFile Shared Folders (John Doe). If it will be useful for you to reference the connection by the account name, you should use the default name. | Optional |

Connect as standard user | Select this option to create a standard connection to access a user's files and folders. This is the default selection. | Â |
