INTRODUCING CONNECTORS (ALONG WITH AZURE STORAGE CONNECTOR)
Connectors were first introduced in Evoq to have a single place to manage external connections. Evoq integrates with several services such as Dropbox, Box, Mailchimp, Zendesk, etc., which all use one common interface to define and configure connection information. Just like anything else in DNN, Connectors were built with extensibility in mind. We have now moved the base Connectors framework into DNN Platform. Along with that, we also made the Azure Storage Connector availble in Platform as well. Look out for a future blog on this topic.
