External Storage API

The External Storage API connection allows the integration of external applications that act as an API gateway into MyQ, to add support for new cloud or network storages.

Example usage

1. A third-party application uses their own storage.

2. An API gateway is developed and installed on a server.

3. In MyQ, a connector is created and pointed at this application.

4. The API gateway understands and maps API calls from one service (MyQ) to the other (e.g. remote file storage).

Connection details

To configure an external storage MyQ:

1. Log in to the MyQ web administrator interface, and go to MyQ, Settings, Connections.

2. Click +Add and select External Storage API.

3. In the pop-up window, fill in the required information, and click OK:

   

   1. Title - a title for your external storage.

   2. URL - URL where the application is listening
