  2. Click Connections.
  3. Locate the disconnected connection in the Connections list.
  4. Click the ellipses (…) in the Actions column. 

  5. Click Reconnect from the menu that displays. (Note that Reconnect only displays for disconnected connections.)
  6. A Reconnect modal displays. Note that the modal will contain fields specific to the storage platform.

  7. Click Reconnect with existing credentials.
  8. DryvIQ will attempt to connect to the platform. You will see a green "Connected” message at the bottom of the modal when DryvIQ establishes a connection. (If the connection fails, you may need to reconnect using new credentials.)
  9. Click Done to finish creating the connection.
