Unstructured File Replication Private Preview

Fivetran allows you to seamlessly sync unstructured files, regardless of the file format, to the supported destinations with integrated object storage capabilities. The unstructured file replication feature enables you to manage and store both unstructured and structured data from a unified storage location, making it accessible for AI-driven use cases.

File storage and metadata mapping in destination

Fivetran incrementally replicates your files in their original format to the destination's integrated object storage. Fivetran names the stage, volume, or folder according to the corresponding metadata or entity tables.

For each file, we store and maintain the metadata, source URL, and a reference to its location in the destination in their respective metadata or entity table.
