Egnyte

Egnyte is an enterprise file-sharing and content management platform used by regulated industries, construction, life sciences, and financial firms to store sensitive project records and contracts under strict folder permissions. Finding a specific clause or figure across deep project folder structures still requires opening large documents one by one.

Search Egnyte directories with precise filters, answer questions from contracts and specifications, and keep project folders organized from chat. Omnifact locates files by keyword, folder path, date, or custom metadata, uses Egnyte AI to summarize documents or query Egnyte Knowledge Bases, and creates folders or saves notes where they belong. Every user signs in with their own Egnyte account so folder permissions apply to every query, and file changes always wait for confirmation.

What to know before
using Egnyte with Omnifact

Use cases, access permissions, data handling, and setup when connecting Egnyte to Omnifact.

What can Omnifact do with Egnyte?

Omnifact searches, reads, and queries documents stored in Egnyte from plain-language chat. Legal and procurement teams check clauses and renewal dates across supplier agreements, project managers review engineering specs or bid documents, and teams query curated Egnyte Knowledge Bases while keeping all folder permissions intact.

How can I find files in Egnyte with Omnifact?

Describe the document in plain language, such as the latest signed subcontractor agreement or last quarter's quality audit report. Omnifact searches Egnyte using keywords, folder paths, dates, and metadata, then reads the matching files to answer your question directly in chat.

Can Omnifact summarize documents stored in Egnyte?

Yes. Omnifact reads documents directly or uses Egnyte AI to summarize long PDFs, answer targeted questions, and extract details such as dates, parties, and amounts. Available Egnyte AI capabilities follow your organization's Egnyte plan.

How can Omnifact help keep Egnyte folders organized?

Ask Omnifact to create a new project folder, save meeting notes or a CSV table into the right directory, tag files with custom metadata, or generate a share link. Every action that creates or changes content in Egnyte waits for your confirmation in chat first.

Which Egnyte folders can Omnifact see?

Only the files, folders, and Knowledge Bases your own Egnyte account is permitted to open. Because each user signs in with their personal Egnyte account rather than a shared service user, Egnyte's folder permissions are enforced on every search and summary.

How does Omnifact handle Egnyte files?

Your files remain in Egnyte under your agreement with Egnyte. Omnifact retrieves document content live when a prompt asks for it instead of copying or indexing your Egnyte storage in advance. Omnifact is operated in Germany, business data is never used to train AI models, and admins can restrict Omnifact to European or Europe-hosted models.

How do I connect Egnyte to Omnifact?

An Omnifact admin adds Egnyte once from the catalog, and users then sign in with their own Egnyte account. Depending on your Egnyte security settings, an Egnyte admin may first enable external AI assistant connections for your domain.
