🔌Integration with existing storage

Your Private Ellipsis Drive Instance can connect with your own file storage and/or databases. Each connection to such a storage medium will be presented as an Ellipsis Drive synced folder. Content within these storage media will be displayed as sub folders, layers and files.

Mind that Ellipsis Drive will automatically keep synced folders up to date with the connected storage medium. If content is added or removed in the original medium, it will be will be added/removed in the synced folder as well. This means that content in synced folders cannot be updated via the Ellipsis Drive API or interface and should instead be updated via the original storage medium. Synced folders are read only from the Ellipsis Drive interface.

The following storage media can be connected to Ellipsis Drive as synced folders:

• Cloud buckets

• PostgreSQL tables

• mySQL tables

• PostGIS tables

• Disks

Cloud buckets can be easily connected via the UI by providing the correct address and credentials. The other storage media require a bit more know how and need to be added using scripts. The Ellipsis Drive team can support you with this as part of your license, so don't hesitate to get in touch if help is needed.
