Import Options​

Importing from Cloud Services​

You can import evidence from cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and GCP. Ensure that the correct credentials are added to the system and that your role is granted access to use these credentials.

For a step-by-step guide, visit our Cloud Import Documentation.

Importing from Cado Host​

The Cado platform can use Cado Host to acquire forensic artifacts from on-premises systems and analyze them in the cloud. Additionally, Cado Host can upload evidence, like previously collected disk images.

To learn more about using Cado Host, see the Cado Host Documentation.

Importing from a URL​

If you’ve stored forensic artifacts at a URL, you can import them directly into the platform. Ensure that the file types are supported by checking the list of compatible file types.
