Public DBFS root is disabled in Databricks free edition

[Loinguyen318]

I am using notebook to execute a sample spark to write delta table in dbfs using free edition. However, I face an issue, that I can not access the public DBFS after the code executed.

The spark code such as:

data = spark.range(0, 5)
data.write.format("delta").save("/tmp/delta-table")

This is the log error:

Public DBFS root is disabled. Access is denied on path: /tmp/delta-table/_delta_log

I am having the same issue. 

I wish to create a new folder

dbutils.fs.mkdirs("/sampledir")

and I get this error

ExecutionError: Public DBFS root is disabled. Access is denied on path: /sampledir

Can you use UCVolumes instead of DBFS?

Can you use UCVolumes instead of DBFS? Databricks will disable DBFS as it moves to a serverless approach. I would use UCVoulmes - convenient and governed by UC.Databricks will disable DBFS, as it adopts a serverless approach. I would use UCVoulmes - convenient and governed by UC
