The Data App#

The Data App allows browsing of data uploaded to Edge or available through a data connector. It features an interactive file browser and data connectors.

Using the File Browser#

You can manage your files interactively by clicking Files on Edge. From here, you may upload files using a simple drag-and-drop approach.

Small files will show up immediately; for larger files you will get a progress bar that fills as the upload progresses. You can also right-click anywhere in the file browser and select "Upload", which will open a window prompting you to select the file to upload:

To download a file from the Data App file browser to your desktop, simply right-click on the file and select "Download":

You may also use the right-click menu to perform basic file operations. For more information about file data in Edge, read about Working with Files.

Managing Data Connectors#

The Data App also allows you to interact with Data Connectors. For example, here are the contents of a remote S3 bucket, displayed in the Data App:

To create a new connector (if you have the required permissions), click on the "+" button and a dialog will prompt you to select a connector type and fill out basic information. For more information, read about Working with Data Connectors.
