Data Explorer
With Data Explorer, you can browse and interact with remote data repositories from organization workspaces in Seqera Platform. It supports AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, and Amazon S3-compatible API storage (for example, but not limited to, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, and Oracle Cloud).
Access the Data Explorer tab from any workspace to view and manage all available data repositories. It is also integrated with the pipeline launch form and run detail pages and Studios, which allow you to select input data files and output directories or quickly view the output files of a run and directly use files in object storage for interactive analysis.
If you use Seqera Cloud and want to disable Data Explorer, contact your Seqera account executive.
