Create and Manage a Native Connector

A Native file connector allows Brainspace to analyze common native file types, including basic versions of emails (EML), PDF, MS Office, PST (Outlook), Mbox (email formats), ZIP, and RAR.

Native documents must be presented to Brainspace within the /data/brainspace/ directory structure to be ingested. These native documents can be viewed and downloaded in the Brainspace Document Viewer as long as they continue to reside in that location.
