# Export data to cloud storage

Use Data Pipeline to sync your Stripe account to a cloud storage destination.

When you set up Data Pipeline, Stripe sends [Parquet](https://parquet.apache.org/) files to your owned cloud storage location, such as Google Cloud Storage or Azure Blob Storage. After the initial load, your Stripe data [refreshes regularly](https://docs.stripe.com/data/data-pipeline/data-freshness.md), delivering a new full load of your data on a regular basis. You can use these cloud storage destinations to take your data to data warehouses such as [BigQuery](https://stripe.dev/blog/unlock-powerful-analytics-stripe-data-pipeline-bigquery) and Databricks.

The following destinations are supported:

- [Google Cloud Storage](https://docs.stripe.com/data/access-data-in-warehouse/cloud-storage/google-cloud-storage.md)
- [Azure Blob Storage](https://docs.stripe.com/data/access-data-in-warehouse/cloud-storage/azure-blob-storage.md)
- [Amazon S3 Storage](https://docs.stripe.com/data/access-data-in-warehouse/cloud-storage/aws-s3-storage.md)

For each run date and mode, Stripe creates a `SUCCESS` file that confirms the successful transfer and validation of all files for a specific set of tables.

Stripe also updates the `/data_load_times.json` file with the time and location of the most recent successful data load for each table.
