network folder on the same machine

You can just drag and drop these documents over. We for sure wont support this due to permission issues

sharepoint

This will be covered by Enterprise connectors or plugins because we find building each plugin per-use-case is really cumbersome since most go unused

mysql/pg

This is better covered by the @agent SQL connector. Data connectors are for pulling in static data to be embed and vector-search. Tabular data is very bad for most vector RAG applications and it wouldn't be wise to copy the whole DB into a vector db!
