## When it is useful

Load data into MotherDuck from files, object storage, HTTPS, dataframes, or external DBs. Twin of duckdb-convert-file / duckdb-read-file but destination is MotherDuck. Hits the Lite 10 GB cap. Not duckdb-s3-explore local.

## The Catch

DuckDB convert/read-file twin but destination MotherDuck. Lite 10 GB storage cap. Distinct from duckdb-convert-file and from duckdb-s3-explore. Pulse CU hours still apply.
