Data providers can offer their data consumers incremental updates to the data shared with them through a snapshot schedule. Snapshot schedules are offered on an hourly or a daily basis. When a data consumer accepts and configures their data share, they can subscribe to a snapshot schedule. This is beneficial in scenarios where the shared data is updated regularly, and the data consumer needs the most up-to-date data.

When a data consumer accepts a data share, they're able to receive the data in a data store of their choice. For example, if the data provider shares data using Azure Blob Storage, the data consumer can receive this data in Azure Data Lake Store. Similarly, if the data provider shares data from an Azure Synapse Analytics, the data consumer can choose whether they want to receive the data into an Azure Data Lake Store, an Azure SQL Database or an Azure Synapse Analytics. If sharing from SQL-based sources, the data consumer can also choose whether they receive data in parquet or csv.

For metadata stored by Azure Data Share, in Southeast Asia (Singapore), it's stored within the region and for all other supported regions, it's stored in the geo. Azure Data Share doesn't store a copy of the shared data itself. The data is stored in the underlying data store that is being shared. For example, if a data provider stores their data in an Azure Data Lake Storage account located in West US that is where the data is stored. If they're sharing data with an Azure Storage account located in West Europe via snapshot, typically the data is transferred directly to the Azure Storage account located in West Europe.

The Azure Data Share service doesn't have to be available in your region to use the service. For example, if you have data stored in an Azure Storage account located in a region where Azure Data Share isn't yet available, you can still use the service to share your data.
