File storage connectors

File storage connectors for scheduled ingestion from external storage systems, including available ingestion paths and when to use each method.

File storage connectors provide scheduled ingestion from external storage systems. For most teams, direct file transfer is the quickest way to start ingesting data into Peak during onboarding or ad hoc operations.

How to configure file storage connectors

Use the following pages to configure each file storage connector path:

• For manual drag-and-drop uploads, see Uploading files with Files.
• For protocol guidance on FTP, SFTP, and FTPS, see FTP protocol overview.
• For step-by-step FTP/SFTP feed setup, see Configuring an FTP/SFTP feed.
• For a comparison of all file upload options, see File upload methods.
• For Amazon S3 configuration steps, see Configuring an Amazon S3 connector.

Amazon S3 connector

The Amazon S3 connector syncs data from an S3 bucket into Peak using a feed. It requires an IAM role that grants Peak access to the target bucket and path.

FTP, SFTP, and FTPS

FTP-based connectors support these protocols:

• SFTP (secure file transfer over SSH)
• FTP (unencrypted)
• FTPS (FTP over TLS)

FTP is not encrypted. Use SFTP or FTPS for secure transfer over public networks.
