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.

The files can be selected from either

• An S3 bucket

• Google Cloud Storage (GCS)

• A local file system

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