## Source Info

* The name Source is an **Object Cloud** source. This means that it sends information (traits) about a thing that exists and persists over time, such as a person or company, and which can be updated over time. Data from this source can only be exported directly to a warehouse, but it can then be used for further analysis. [Learn more about cloud sources.](/docs/segment/connections/sources#cloud-app-sources)
