Media set syncs

This page discusses how to set up a media set source and sync into Foundry via Data Connection.

A growing list of sources support media syncs. However, if your desired filed-based source is not yet supported, you can ingest your files within a dataset and convert them into media sets via Python transforms.

Data Connection supports the following sources for media syncs :

• Azure Blob Filesystem (ABFS)
• Amazon S3
• External transforms

Set up a media set source and sync

1. Find a supported source by navigating to the Source page via + New Source. Then, search for Media Sync to find all supported sources.

2. Ensure you have permissions to import any necessary network policies and then set up supported source using the appropriate instructions below:

• Amazon S3
• Azure Blob Filesystem (ABFS)

3. Add a media set sync. In the Overview page of the source, find the Media syncs section to create a media sync.

4. Set up media set sync by selecting the desired media file types and the relevant file path within your source. If your media files are at the root path, there is no need to add a path configuration.

5. Create the desired build schedule for your media sync ingest. You can edit the schedule after the initial configuration.

6. Set up your latency and storage configuration.

7. Save media set sync when you have selected your initial configuration.

8. Select Run to trigger your first sync to view your media sync.

Once you have set up your media sync, learn how to leverage your media set via Transforms or Pipeline Builder.
