# IngestNiFiStreamFiles

A Boolean value that specifies whether to stream files (document content) to NiFi.

- To upload files to NiFi, set this parameter to `TRUE`.
- To send only file paths to NiFi, set this parameter to `FALSE`. The connector sends a much smaller amount of data to NiFi, which can increase performance. NiFi processors must retrieve the files from the connector machine (or the shared path when IngestSharedPath is set).
