# Load to Bucket Action

## Objective

The _Load to Bucket_ action **extracts raw data from sources and puts it into a file** in your Project bucket. You can choose the file format.

:::info
**Note:** This action supports the functionality to have customised date in the folder name. You can find the tutorial [here](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/de/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/tutorials-dated-export-folders.md).

## Configure a Load to Bucket action

To create a new action, navigate to the **Action tab** of the Data Processing Engine (DPE), click on **New Action** and select the _Load to Bucket_ action.

### Choose a source and a destination

To set-up the action, start by selecting a source from the list that you have already set-up in the [Sources](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/de/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-connectors-sources.md) tab of the Connectors.

Then, choose the _destination bucket_ from the list of [Project buckets](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/de/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/lakehouse-manager-buckets.md).

![Choose a source and a destination — Load buckets list buckets](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/dpe/actions/load-buckets/picts/load-buckets-list-buckets.png)
You will then be prompted to choose the file format and the destination folder. If you leave the folder name empty, it will automatically be named as the source name.

:::info
If you choose a **PostgreSQL source** your action will be have optimised performance similarly to the [PostgreSQL to Parquet action](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/de/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/dpe-actions-postgresql-to-parquet.md).
:::

### Destination file

Your data will be put into the destination folder in a file named _part-1_ with the format you specified. If your file is too big, it will be split into multiple files named _part-1_, _part-2_, _part-3_ and so on.

The order of your rows will be preserved in this process. Hence, the first rows will be in the _part-1_ file and the following rows will be in the _part-2_ file.
