Connectors let Layest agents exchange files with the cloud storage your team already uses. Connections are created once for the workspace and can then support agent inputs or outputs.

​
Supported storage providers

Nextcloud

Search, download, and upload files.

OneDrive for Business

Upload approved workflow files.

SharePoint

Browse sites and exchange files through document libraries.

Google Drive

Search, download, and upload files.
The Connectors catalog in your workspace is the source of truth for provider availability.

​
Connect an account

1

Open Connectors

Go to Agents → Connectors.
2

Choose a provider

Review the description and supported authentication method.
3

Name the connection

Use a name your team will recognize, such as “Accounting SharePoint” or “Operations Drive.”
4

Authenticate

Complete the provider’s sign-in or connection flow. Layest returns you to the agent Setup when onboarding began there.
5

Use it in Setup

Add a connected folder for intake or choose an external destination for approved outputs.

​
Inputs and destinations are separate

A provider connection proves which external account Layest can access. An agent Setup then chooses:
  • the exact source folder
  • whether existing files should be imported
  • what file events start work
  • the output folder
  • which approved artifacts should be delivered
  • optional path and file-name organization

​
Manage connections safely

Connected accounts show whether they are active or disconnected. Reconnect a provider when authentication expires. Deleting a connection prevents workflows from using it and can affect every intake or destination that depends on it.
Before deleting a connection, review the agents and destinations that use it. External files are not deleted when you remove a Layest connection.
