One of the main reasons File Manager exists is to prevent recurring upload friction when the same source files are used repeatedly in ETL flows.
Why this matters
- flows run faster when the source already exists in the platform
- users avoid repeated local-upload delays
- file-backed ETL pipelines become easier to operate consistently
Good operating habit
If a file will be reused across multiple ETL runs or multiple flows, store it clearly in File Manager instead of treating every run like a one-off upload.
