file extracgtor recursive mode toggle

Not sure I follow what you’re telling me here, sorry(!): 

But when i set that option for simple files, it does not works, also the documentation does not mention the keyword recurvisive for files.

See https://docs.cognite.com/cdf/integration/guides/extraction/configuration/file-extractor#files.file-provider.sharepoint_online.paths

I.e. in the config.yml file, for the sharepoint provider of the file extractor, it should be:

extractor:
  files:
    file-provider:
      type: sharepoint_online
      paths:
        - url: <url to sharepoint site>
          recursive: false # This setting is "true" by default, so only reason to include it 
                           # in the config.yml file is if you want to disable recursive 
                           # traversal from the location specified by the paths.url 
                           # location (URI).

extractor:
  files:
    file-provider:
      type: sharepoint_online
      paths:
        - url: <url to sharepoint site>
          recursive: false # This setting is "true" by default, so only reason to include it 
                           # in the config.yml file is if you want to disable recursive 
                           # traversal from the location specified by the paths.url 
                           # location (URI).

Correct, thats what it mean, the recursive mode works for sharepoint only but its not implemented for simple files from e.g. a local file folder. Im telling it should be great to have the recursive toggle also implemented for normal regular local files as well!.

thank you.

Oh, I see. 

It has been a very explicit choice thus far to _not_ recurse from the destination for the other providers (better control and easier setup from a security perspective if user needs to exclude certain aspects of the subtree).
