If the partner keeps changing the files, we might as well ask them to do the hokey-pokey while they're at it. This is getting more complicated than a Rubik's Cube.

Setting up a Snowflake reader account is a good option, but it still requires some manual intervention. I'd prefer a more automated solution.

Keeping the current structure but asking the partner to stop changing files? That's like asking a tornado to stop spinning - it's just not practical.

Using the data lake export feature and schema-on-read is a great idea! It's a more modern approach and reduces the overhead of managing the file structure.

The partner sharing their Snowflake account seems like the most efficient solution. It eliminates the need for manual uploads and allows for seamless data integration.

I'm not sure about option B. I think option A could also work well if the partner is willing to create a share for us.
