Nexadata File Manager

Nexadata File Manager is a cloud-based file storage service that enables users to upload, download, and manage files, including data maps. These files can be accessed directly by Nexadata Pipelines and Mapping Groups for reading and writing input/output files and data maps. This makes it ideal for accelerating development and prototyping, offering temporary storage until connections to permanent storage solutions are established.
