description: Get your application, funding, and compliance data from Figure in bulk, delivered to storage you control.

Figure delivers scheduled snapshots of your data as files. Most partners load them into a data warehouse to feed their loan origination system, CRM, or BI reporting. You can also exchange other files with Figure in either direction.

## Set up exports

{% steps %}
{% step title="Choose where files go" %}
Data Export files are delivered only to storage your organization hosts. Partner-hosted [Google Cloud Storage](/data-integration/file-exchange/google-cloud-storage) is recommended; [AWS S3](/data-integration/file-exchange/aws-s3) and [SFTP](/data-integration/file-exchange/sftp) also work. Every report is also available to download from Lead Portal.
{% /step %}
{% step title="Exchange keys" %}
Exports are always PGP-encrypted. Send Figure your organization's public PGP key, and for SFTP, exchange SSH keys. See [Key Exchange](/key-exchange).
{% /step %}
{% step title="Test with test_ files" %}
Test-environment files are prefixed `test_` and never mix with production data. Build your ingestion against them first. See [File Naming Conventions](/data-integration/data-export#file-naming-conventions).
{% /step %}
{% step title="Ingest by field name" %}
Figure adds fields over time, not always at the end. Map columns by name, not position, and load only the fields you need. Each [export schema](/data-integration/data-export#export-schemas) lists every field.
