Metabase Cloud Storage

If you have data stored in spreadsheets and don’t have a data warehouse, Metabase Cloud Storage has you covered.

Metabase Cloud Storage is a feature you can add to your Metabase Cloud plan (and it’s only available for plans on Metabase Cloud).

Once added, you’ll see an Add data button in the left navigation bar. Click it and select Upload CSV.
