Now in effect: Change to repository download behavior
As announced in the 26.2 release, Perfecto has changed the default behavior for downloading files from the repository to improve data security. As of April 1, 2026, repository downloads are disabled by default for all clouds. A cloud must explicitly allow repository downloads.
If your workflows require downloading files from the repository, contact Perfecto Support to request that downloads be enabled for your cloud.
Uploading files to the repository is not affected by this change and remains available regardless of download access.
