Connections

This page links to the different kinds of connections that can be made in Upsolver.

A prerequisite for defining a cloud storage data source is providing Upsolver with the appropriate credentials for reading from your cloud storage by creating the required connection.

Navigate to the Connections page by clicking More > Connections.
