How the connection is designed
The plan is to grant permission via Egnyte itself: you sign in with your Egnyte account and choose the folders to be read — usually the shared project folders. Access is read-only and limited to your selection; nothing in Egnyte is changed. Whether your plan and your account’s rights allow this, or whether an administrator needs to consent, we check with you in advance.
Once set up, synchronisation runs automatically: new and changed documents from Egnyte are added by themselves, without anyone having to upload anything.
Set-upThe connection is made with a click via your Egnyte account and is included in the setup. Which project folders are read and whether completed projects are included, we discuss in advance — ideally together with the person who manages Egnyte at your company.

Start
Before a connection is set up
The connection is made in one click via the account and is included in the setup. Every source comes with its own logins, permissions and folder logic — we check the prerequisites at your company together beforehand.
Until then, and independently of it, you can upload files, whole folders, emails, photos and voice memos. Before we start, we go through real questions with you to see how the answers look.
Preliminary check
What we check in advance
The plan is files with readable text: PDF, Office files, scans. Whether content from CAD files is needed or the PDF version of the plans is enough, we discuss. In advance, we clarify whether Egnyte runs purely online for you or whether folders are also synced with on-premises storage — in that case we look at which side holds the authoritative version. Personal folders of individual accounts are only included if you explicitly want that. The plan is the current version of a file; whether earlier versions from the version history are needed, we clarify.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about this connection
We have plans in many revisions side by side. Will the system find the right one?
The plan is that the answer names the file, folder and date of the source, so it remains clear which plan revision it relies on. If the index is in the file name or the title block, it should be taken along as an attribute. Which revision is approved is still decided by your office — if several revisions sit side by side without marking, the answer should show that. Before we start, we go through real questions with you to see how this looks with your project folders.
Do completed projects come along too?
That is the plan for the folders you select — older projects in particular are often the source of details needed again on the next job. It makes sense to keep completed projects recognisable, for example via a separate folder or the year in the folder name; the answer then states which project the source comes from. We discuss the scope before we start.
Will subcontractors or clients then see any of this?
That is not planned. Reading happens via your account and read-only; whatever you have shared externally in Egnyte stays as it is. Who gets which answers in junova, you define via document types and roles. Which roles your office needs, we discuss before we start.
Not everyone in the office should see the cost calculation. How can that be separated?
The plan is to handle this via document types and roles in junova: plans, minutes and bills of quantities for the project team; calculations, fees and assessments of variations only for certain roles — regardless of which folder the file is in. The folder permissions in Egnyte are not copied one to one and remain untouched. Whether a PDF counts as a plan or as a calculation, a person confirms in the first run.
