Answer: A,B

Explanation:

Two considerations that should be made when using a File Drop Automation are:

✑ They may utilize an external FTP site. A File Drop Automation can be configured to use an external SFTP location as well as an Enhanced FTP location for file triggers.

✑ The directory is unable to be used by another File Drop Automation. A File Drop Automation can only use one directory for file triggers, and that directory cannot be used by another File Drop Automation.

The directory used by the file trigger can be inside or outside the import directory, as long as it is not used by another File Drop Automation. The directory can contain more than five file triggers, but only one file trigger can start an automation at any given time.
