File connector

The Tonic Structural file connector allows you to use files as the source data, and to write transformed versions of the files as destination data.

You select files of the supported types from either:

• An S3 bucket
• A MinIO object store
• Google Cloud Storage (GCS)
• Azure Blob Storage
• A local file system
• For self-hosted instances, a file mount

You can also view a video tutorial that provides an overview of the file connector and how to manage file groups.

The file connector can transform these types of files and content.

Configure workspace file storage and output

Identify where to find the source files and where to write the destination files.
