Egnyte

When Egnyte is connected to Nomic, the Nomic agent can search and reason over documents stored in the folders your admin has synced. You only see files you have access to in Egnyte. Egnyte is a Business and Enterprise integration — Individual plan users upload files instead.

Connect Your Egnyte Account​

Connect your own Egnyte account so Nomic knows who you are in Egnyte and which Egnyte groups you belong to. Nomic uses this to match your access to your Egnyte permissions.

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations.
  2. Find Egnyte and click Connect.
  3. Sign in with your Egnyte credentials and approve the permissions requested by Nomic.

Nomic refreshes your Egnyte group memberships once a day. If you were just added to or removed from an Egnyte group, open the ⋯ menu on the Egnyte card and choose Refresh groups to update right away. If the card shows Expired, click Reconnect.

What the Nomic Agent Can Access​

The Nomic agent has access to:

  • Documents and PDFs — Full text content for search and reference
  • File metadata — Names, creators, and modification dates
  • Folder structure — How files are organized in your Egnyte account
  • Version history — Nomic keeps each new version of a file it sees from the time the folder starts syncing. Earlier Egnyte revisions are not imported.

Your admin selects which Egnyte folders to sync. Nomic respects Egnyte permissions—you only get answers from files you can access.

What You Can Do​

With Egnyte context, you can ask the Nomic agent to:

  • Search across projects — "Find all references to fire-rated assemblies in our past projects"
  • Reference firm standards — "What does our standard detail say about flashing?"
  • Compare versions — "What changed between the last two synced versions of this drawing?"
  • Find specific details — "Where do we specify the insulation R-value for exterior walls?"

Egnyte is a file storage integration. If your firm uses Egnyte without Autodesk Forma or Bentley, your admin should sync the folders that matter, then attach those folders to projects or workflow context. Scoped folders enable Active Project Research, Code Compliance, and Automated Submittal Review.
