# Managing Cloud Storage Connections

Cloud storage connections in Dataloader from MuleSoft let you import CSV files directly from cloud storage or send export results to a shared folder without uploading or downloading files manually. Connect to Box, Dropbox, FTP, and SFTP from the Connections tab in Settings.

**note:** To manage Salesforce org connections, see [Managing Salesforce Connections](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/platform/dataloader/guide/manage-salesforce-connections.md).

## Add a Cloud Storage Connection

1. In the header, open the user menu, then click **Settings**.

2. Select the **Connections** tab.

3. Click **NEW CONNECTION**.

4. Select your storage provider and enter your account credentials. Dataloader from MuleSoft saves the connection for use in import and export tasks.
