    - use the "SharePoint Folder" connector

    - add filters on file name and path to narrow in on just the  files you want to combine

    - easy option: Combine Binaries.  Better option:  Write your own ingestor, and then use "Expand Tables"

    - change column types as needed.

     

    I was planning to write a blog entry on this ( the better option ).  Hopefully I can get to it soon-ish.
