Palantir Foundry - Data Connection to copy PDF files from Compass Folder to external source?


In Palantir Foundry - Is there a data connector that will export files (PDFs) from the Compass folder system to an external source like SharePoint or a shared network drive? Every connection type I am familiar with relies on a data export task that exports files from a dataset filesystem.

We need to export PDFs from a regular Foundry folder to some external source. We're flexible on the destination (SharePoint, shared drive, ?) - we have hundreds of PDFs to download and unfortunately Foundry does not seem to allow any kind of mass downloading from the UI. enter image description here


Solution

  • In general, if you're storing 'many' pdfs, you'll want to put them inside a dataset or similar, this enables you to handle them in bulk, both for export and in pipelines, ontology & applications.

    I would re-upload the PDFs to a dataset without a schema, then use the data connection export functionality.

    If you could please provide some more details about how the PDFs got there, I might be able to suggest an easier way to get them into a dataset?
