External storage adapter

This connector allows integrating external applications that act as API gateway into MyQ to add support for new cloud or network storages.

For the Web UI configuration see External Storage API

Connection details

URL - URL on which the application is listening
Login & Password - for authentication

Example usage

A third-party application uses their own storage. We want to set MyQ to be able to scan to this storage.
An API gateway is developed and installed on a server.
In MyQ, a connector is created and pointed at this application.
The API gateway understands and maps API calls from one service (MyQ) to the other (e.g. remote file storage).
