You are strongly recommended to create and use your own API key's with Egnyte and SyncBackPro. If you do not then you will be sharing a single key with all users of SyncBackPro, and that will lead to throttling (403 errors). If you are running a SyncBackPro version prior to V11 (e.g. V10 or V9) then you need to upgrade to V11. To upgrade visit our upgrade store at: www.2brightsparks.com/store/upgradestore.php


To create a key, contact Egnyte: https://helpdesk.egnyte.com/hc/en-us/articles/14455968465037

  8. Enter your Egnyte Secret Key and click OK.
