Installing Zoho Databridge
Zoho Databridge is a lightweight independent utility that connects your on-premise data source and Zoho applications to import data. In other words, you can quickly and securely transfer data from your internal network to Zoho applications.
With Zoho DataPrep, you can use Zoho Databridge to allow import of data from local databases such as MySQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, and PostgreSQL in the FTP servers in your local network and from REST APIs that can only be accessed from your local network.
Downloading and adding a Databridge to your network
Follow the steps below to install Databridge on your local machine.
Downloading the Databridge installer
Download the Databridge installer from the import options:

Troubleshooting - FAQs
1. What can I do if I find read/write issues using Zoho Databridge?
You can go to the databridge package installed location in the terminal, and enter the command "StartServer.sh" with administrator permissions to read/write data.
For a permanent solution, you can install databridge within the user directory. Reason being, if you are not the administrator of your machine, you will not have permission to read or write files if you have installed Zoho Databridge in the program files directory. Only an administrator can edit files in the program files directory. So you can install Zoho Databridge in the user directory where you will have access to read or write files using Zoho Databridge seamlessly.
2. My Databridge doesn't seem to work. How can I reinstall Zoho Databridge?
If you have installed Zoho Databridge earlier on the same machine, make sure to completely uninstall and delete the existing version. You can then proceed with installing the newly downloaded Databridge package.
