Once you have the Client ID and Client Secret values, you can plug these into the connector settings in Arc: These values are generated using the console/portal/GUI for the service you are trying to access for example, if you want to connect to Google Drive, you'll need to generate these values within the Google developer's console. However, this applies only to the first time you connect all successive connections are authenticated behind-the-scenes with no user interaction required.įirst, you need to generate two OAuth values: a Client ID and a Client Secret. Using OAuth authentication requires a bit of extra work when establishing the initial connection. This section can be skipped for cloud storage providers that do not use OAuth: S3, Azure Blob, and Wasabi.
Some cloud storage connectors will have a blue Connect button, indicating that this cloud storage provider requires OAuth authentication. The first step in configuring our new S3 Connector is to establish a working connection with the cloud storage service.įor most connections, the only thing that needs to be configured to establish a connection is a set of credentials that grant access to a cloud storage account.įor S3 specifically, these credentials come in the form of an Access Key and Secret Key: This connector will handle both uploading and/or downloading from the cloud, depending on how you configure it. This guide will use Amazon S3 as an example cloud storage platform, but the same principles apply regardless of the specific cloud storage service you want to use. To begin integrating with a particular platform, find the appropriate connector in the toolbar on the left of the Flows page and drag it into the flow canvas to create an instance of the connector: This article serves as a guide for configuring automatic uploads and downloads from the cloud with Arc.Īrc has dedicated connectors for many different cloud storage platforms. Arc simplifies the process of uploading and downloading from secure cloud storage platforms like Amazon S3, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, and more.
