Cloud File Storage Activation Target lets you publish segments . . .

• A. From Data Cloud to Amazon S3.
• B. Directly from Data Cloud to Marketing Cloud Business Units.
• C. So Salesforce Core apps can query.
• D. To Data Cloud to a Data Warehouse

Answer: (A)

This question tests understanding of what the Cloud File Storage Activation Target does. It’s about exporting Data Cloud segments as files to a cloud storage service so downstream processes can access them. Publishing to Amazon S3 is exactly this file-based destination, making the segments available as S3 objects for further processing, analytics, or integration with other systems.

This activation path differs from pushing data directly into Marketing Cloud Business Units, which is a live, direct destination rather than a file export. It’s also different from enabling core Salesforce apps to query data, which implies live access rather than a file-based export. And it isn’t about sending data to a data warehouse, which involves a database or warehouse target rather than storing files in object storage. So exporting to Amazon S3 best matches theCloud File Storage Activation Target’s purpose.
