The File connector reads from a publicly accessible URL. Use it to sync data from files hosted on HTTPS or S3. Supported formats: CSV, JSON, JSONL, Parquet, and Avro.

​
Prerequisites

The file must be publicly accessible via HTTPS or S3. For S3, ensure the bucket policy or object ACL allows public read, or use pre-signed URLs if supported.
