# Data Platform Buckets

## Objective

The connector allows you to use files stored in your [Project's buckets](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/es/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/lakehouse-manager-buckets.md) as data sources.

:::info
Buckets are a traditional file-based storage system and allow you to organize unstructured data

## Add a Buckets source

### Configuration screen overview

Once you have found _Buckets_ in the **the Platform store**, click on _Select_ and you will be able to see the configuration screen as shown below -

![bucket](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/connectors/sources/connectors/forepaas-buckets/picts/FPBucket1.png)
### Configuring your source

When creating the source, you will be required to input the following information :

- **Bucket:** The name of the Bucket from which you want to find the source files
- **Path:** The optional path to the subfolder containing the source files

Once you add the above details click on _Connect_ and
you will see the files in your bucket. An example is shown below:

![bucket](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/connectors/sources/connectors/forepaas-buckets/picts/FPBucket2.png)
Then click on the _Create_ button on the top right-hand corner to create your source.

:::warning
Don't forget to name your source before creating it. The technical name cannot be changed after creating the source and will be used when trying to open the source using the [SDK](https://docs.ovhcloud.com/es/guides/public-cloud/data-platform/landing-page-developers-python-sdk.md).
:::

The encoding of the source files is automatically detected by the Platform. However, if the automatic detection fails, you have the ability to specify the file encoding by clicking on the **pen icon** next to each source object:

![File Upload](/images/public-cloud/data-platform/product/connectors/sources/connectors/forepaas-buckets/picts/buckets-encoding.png)
Select the encoding of your source object in the dropdown selection.

### Supported files and sizes

The Datastore allows an **S3<sup>1</sup> compatible object** store, which allows you to store any unstructured data.

:::warning
There is a 10 GB size limit on files handled by the Data Store.
