This feature is in Public Preview.

This article introduces Databricks Marketplace, an open forum for exchanging data products. Databricks Marketplace takes advantage of Delta Sharing to give data providers the tools to share data products securely and data consumers the power to explore and expand their access to the data and data services they need.

How do consumers get access to data in Databricks Marketplace?

In either case, the Delta Sharing protocol that powers the Marketplace ensures that you can access shared data securely.
