Certified Marketing Cloud Administrator Exam - Question 33


Northern Trail Outfitters placed an encrypted file on their Marketing Cloud SFTP for import into a data extension. They are using a File Transfer Activity to decrypt the file.

Where would the decrypted data be after the File Transfer Activity completes?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: BC

When a File Transfer Activity is used to decrypt a file in Marketing Cloud, the decrypted data is placed in the Safehouse. The Safehouse is a secure storage area provided by Marketing Cloud specifically for decrypted files and certain other sensitive operations. After the decryption process in the File Transfer Activity, the data is not placed back into any SFTP folder (either export or selected); instead, it is kept in the Safehouse for further processing or importing into a data extension.

It is C - the question points to "complete" and not a step in between. See Salesforce Homepage for clear confirmation in first sentence. https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.mc_as_using_the_file_transfer_activity.htm&type=5

The file is "imported". Therefore it can't be on any (S)FTP afterwards because it's pulled into SFMC, the so called "Safehouse".
