DBFS File browser option is not visible in Databricks Community Edition

Subash — Thu, 17 Oct 2024 02:44:13 GMT

I am not able to see the DBFS File Browser option to enable it. Can someone help how to get that option?

Go to Settings, then navigate to the Advanced tab. Under the Other section, you'll find the second option to enable the DBFS File Browser.

Thanks @Akshay_Petkar for the reply,

I checked the Advanced tab under the Other section, but I couldn’t find the option to enable the DBFS File Browser. That's what I have attached in the screenshot

Check the Databricks employee's comment below in my post today 😞 Have they disabled it forever in CE?

Hi @Subash ,

The Community Edition is quite limited. If you are learning Databricks, then maybe consider Azure 30-days free trial with 200 USD credit for resources
