Streaming upload and Google storage. #320

Closed emattei closed 5 months ago

emattei commented 1 year ago

Hi, Is it possible to upload a file to Synapse by streaming it? Or do I need to have it on my local machine. I need to upload files stored in GCP and I would like to avoid having to localize them.

Thank you, E.

Hi @emattei

There currently isn't a way to upload a file to Synapse by streaming it, so you'd have to download the files locally. However, there is another option: https://help.synapse.org/docs/Custom-Storage-Locations.2048327803.html#CustomStorageLocations-SettingupanExternalGoogleCloudStorageBucket.

Synapse can support connections to external buckets, but it definitely increases the complexity. Please let me know if you have any questions.
