# Remote File
## 1. How to connect to your data?
1\. Go to the **Resources** page and click the **Add Resource** button.
2\. In the "Select a data source" step, select **Remote File.**
3\. In the "Configure the data source" step, enter the credentials:

4\. In the "Select the tables", choose tables that you want to import.
5\. Click **Finish Setup**. You will see a icon next to your resource. It may take a few minutes to several hours depending on the data size and the number of your tables. Once your APP's data is ready, you will receive a notification email.
