You can definitely bring your own storage (e.g. store your data in your own s3 buckets and integrate it with snowflake) using storage integrations and external tables. See https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/data-load-s3-config-storage-integration https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/data-load-s3-config... Personally believe this is the right approach as the data resides in a location fully under the company's control. You could ditch snowflake and the data still resides in your s3 buckets for reuse with a another platform (just remove the iam permissions for snowflake).
