The CData Tableau Connector for REST is designed for streaming REST only.

This streamed file content does not include all of the metadata associated with remotely stored REST files, such as file and folder name.

If access to both the file metadata and the actual file content is needed, then the CData Tableau Connector for REST must be used in tandem with the associated file system driver(s) for the service the REST files are remotely stored in.

The following file system drivers are available:

• AmazonS3
• Box
• Dropbox
• FTP
• GoogleCloudStorage
• IBLCloudObjectStorage
• OneDrive
• SFTP

See the relevant CData file system driver's documentation for a configuration guide for connecting to stored REST file metadata.
