Supported File Tagging Types

Introduction

This section provides a summary of the different tagging types supported across all available data source connectors. It highlights which connectors support Cloud-only Tagging, Cloud + Persistent Tagging, and MIP Tagging, offering a quick reference for feature availability.

Tagging Types

  • Cloud-only Tagging – Uses native tags to add extra information to files. In most cases, these tags will not persist after the file is downloaded.
  • Persistent (metadata) tagging – In addition to cloud native tags, this option downloads the file, writes metadata directly to it, and then re-uploads the file. The tags will persist after the file is downloaded.
  • MIP Tagging – Uses Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) to apply classification and protection labels.
