Cloud Storage Integrations with Edilitics | Secure Access at Scale#

As organizations scale, the need to centralize and analyze cloud-stored data becomes increasingly critical. Edilitics enables secure, real-time access to widely used cloud storage platforms—Google Cloud Storage, Google Drive, and Google Sheets—as data sources and destinations for replication, transformation, and downstream analytics.

With built-in access controls, schema reliability, and modular integration workflows, Edilitics ensures your cloud-based files are leveraged with precision—without compromising governance or performance.

Supported Cloud Storage Platforms#

Edilitics currently supports the following platforms:

Supported File Formats for Cloud Storage Integrations#

Edilitics supports real-time access to the following file types when stored in supported cloud platforms:

Schema Parsing for Consistency and Reliability#

Cloud-stored files are not uploaded, but accessed in real-time through the integration connection. Edilitics performs live parsing of these files to ensure consistent schema reliability across modules:

• ✅ Schema Inference:

  For formats that lack metadata (e.g., CSV, Feather, Pickle), Edilitics automatically parses and infers column types (e.g., int, float, str) based on data samples.

• ✅ Metadata Preservation:

  For formats like Parquet, Avro, and Excel—where schema metadata is embedded—Edilitics preserves and uses this structure as-is.

• ✅ Column Integrity:

  Parsed schemas are applied uniformly across Replicate, Transform, and Visualize modules, preventing runtime failures and improving pipeline robustness.

Use Cases Across the Edilitics Platform#

Edilitics enables you to use cloud storage integrations across all major data operations:

Replication Workflows

• Ingest operational files stored in Google Drive or GCS.

• Extract structured datasets from shared Google Sheets into analytical environments.

• Automate updates by combining with Schedulers & Advanced Settings.

Transformation Workflows

• Cleanse, enrich, and join cloud-hosted files with warehouse or database data.

• Apply transformations on cloud files directly—without needing intermediate storage.

Visualization

• Use structured cloud files (CSV, Excel, Sheets) as real-time inputs for dashboards.

• Generate interactive charts, trend analyses, and operational KPIs using dynamic cloud data.

Security, Access Control & Governance#

Edilitics ensures robust governance and real-time access security for cloud file integrations:

• 🔒 No Local Uploads:

  Files are not uploaded to Edilitics. Instead, access is granted via OAuth or service keys, and files are fetched only at runtime.

• 🧾 Audit Logging:

  Every file access—whether in replication, transformation, or visualization—is logged, including user ID, timestamp, and action type.

• 👥 Permission Scope:

  Workspace members can only use integrations explicitly shared with them. Shared users cannot edit, delete, or reshare integrations.

• 🛡️ Enterprise Admin Controls:

  Workspace admins retain full access to all integrations, including those created by others. Admins can revoke access, monitor usage, and manage workspace-wide security.

Built for Real-Time, Collaborative Data Access#

Cloud storage integrations in Edilitics enable your teams to securely bridge operational files, ad hoc datasets, and shared documentation into your broader data workflows—with governance and scalability baked in.

By combining schema reliability, real-time file access, and module-wide consistency, Edilitics ensures your cloud-stored data is not only accessible—but ready to power enterprise-grade analytics pipelines.
