File Manager is for reusable uploaded assets that support work in the platform but are not being managed as datasets in Data Store.
Common examples
- CSV files
- Excel files
- source archives
- raster files
- ETL support assets that should stay reusable between runs
Why these belong here
These files are operational inputs or references. They may eventually feed ETL, maps, or publication workflows, but they do not start life as managed datasets in the platform data store.
