Adding files from the cloud
Cloud-stored files can be easily added to a dataset through integrations, allowing them to sync automatically and stay up to date. Once a cloud drive is configured, it remains connected for future use, with no limit to the number of drives you can add.
To add data from the cloud:
Open the dataset where you want to add the files.
Click the Add data button. The Add data from anywhere window opens.
In the Add data from anywhere window, select a cloud integration. For example, Google Drive. If you have not set up any integrations yet, click Explore more integrations and follow the steps to configure an integration.
Select the file you want to add and confirm your selection.
The file is now added to the dataset and autosyncs hourly by default. To change the sync frequency, click the Autosync dropdown and select a different interval.
If a file is manually deleted and re-uploaded or updated via sync, all past versions remain accessible in the dataset Activity > Versions.
Extracting and virtualizing data
For integration source systems that support data virtualization and data extraction, you can configure live data connections and data extracts. For more details, refer to the Data virtualization and data extraction page.
Connecting Excel to datasets
Use the Excel add-in to work with your data in Excel while sharing it in a dataset with others. For more details, refer to the Excel integration page.
