Uploading files

This guide covers the different methods for uploading files to internal datasets. If you created an external dataset, your files are available once indexed from your connected cloud storage.

There are two options for uploading to Human Native: Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and via the web platform. For large volumes of data, the SFTP method is recommended. Individual files larger than 5GB must be transferred via SFTP.

Prerequisites

An internal dataset must be created first (see Getting started).

Web Platform

From the web platform (app.humannative.ai), click Datasets in the sidebar and select your internal dataset. You can select the Add files header button, or directly drag and drop files and folders into the page:

SFTP

Prerequisites

In order to upload files via SFTP, you will need to generate an access key. This can be done by logging into app.humannative.ai and clicking on Settings in the sidebar dropdown menu.

Generating an access key

In the Access Keys tab, click the New access key button in the top right. Fill out the form to create an access key with a name and expiry date.

This will generate an ID and a secret, which behave as a username and password respectively.

Note

The secret will only be displayed once - make sure you copy it and store it somewhere safe, such as in a password manager.
