# Creating Data Streams with LiteConnect in Marketing Cloud Intelligence

With LiteConnect, you can upload a file into Marketing Cloud Intelligence as is and visualize the data automatically. You don’t need to consider the predefined structure and constraints of the data model or map fields.

Use LiteConnect when you have a single data source and no harmonization is required. If you have multiple data sources that must be harmonized, use other upload methods, such as TotalConnect or API Connectors.

When uploading data, be aware of the data limits:

- Direct upload: 40 MB / 150 million rows (subsequent)
- Email: 30 МB / 150 million rows (subsequent)
- Retrieval: 500 GB / 150 million rows (subsequent)

- **[Create a Data Stream with LiteConnect in Marketing Cloud Intelligence](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.dato_data_streams_lite_create.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Create a LiteConnect data stream to upload a single data source as is without any manipulations. You can upload any flat file.
- **[Harmonizing LiteConnect with Other Data Sources](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.dato_data_streams_lite_harmonize.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can harmonize or integrate LiteConnect data streams with other data streams using Vlookup, data fusion, or calculated dimensions. However, LiteConnect data streams are naturally harmonized at the date level, so you can consolidate measurements by date.

For example, if you have a proprietary dataset in Excel, CSV, or another file format, or if a custom report is sent to you by a data partner that is beyond the scope of what their API can provide.")

When you connect an API connector, an API data stream is created that automatically maps the data fields the vendor provides to the Marketing Cloud Intelligence data model, allowing you to access your information.")
