READ THIS FIRST

While not required, we strongly recommend importing a metadata schema before importing custom metadata into Encord. The process we recommend:
  1. Import a metadata schema. If a metadata schema already exists, you can import metadata. You can run a small piece of code to verify that a metadata schema exists
  2. Import your custom metadata.
Performing multiple schema imports overwrites the current schema with the new schema.

​
Import Custom Metadata

You can import custom metadata directly from your cloud storage alongside your data files. When creating a cloud-synced folder, enable the Metadata ingestion toggle and set your sidecar suffix (default is .metadata.json). Any file matching that suffix is treated as metadata for its paired data file and does not appear as a separate item in your folder.
