Hi everyone,
I am suddenly unable to find the option to upload my files into Databricks Community Edition today. Please find the same in the screenshot attached. Is anyone else also facing this issue?

I was about to post the same question, for some reason we are not able to find the dbfs toggle option in settings either!

The workaround will be to Mount the S3 bucket and use that as your source.

Many thanks for this gchandra.
Will Databricks ever bring back the upload files option into Databricks Community Edition near future? I never mounted an S3 bucket, so will have to test, teach all my students about S3 buckets, not feasible in the middle of the course. Are you able to provide easy steps to mount S3 buckets without incurring any charges please?
Thank you Sandra

What about the IAM config and all that? Is the dbfs file upload permanently disabled for the community edition?

Perfect time for this to happen -- right in the middle of a class assignment due in a few days. 🙂
The easiest way to do it is by using dbutils.fs.mv to mv the file from the local system to the dbfs. Here is a complete example:
## create file in the local fs
with open("./test_file.txt", "w") as file:
lines = "\n".join(map(str, range(5)))
file.write(lines)
!cat test_file.txt
>> 0 1 2 3 4
#mv file from local fs to dbf
dbutils.fs.mv("file:/databricks/driver/test_file.txt", "dbfs:/test_file.txt")
>> Out[10]: True
# Read the file as an RDD
file_path = "dbfs:/test_file.txt"
rdd = sc.textFile(file_path)
rdd.collect()
>> Out[11]: ['0', '1', '2', '3', '4']

CE product roadmap is not available, so I cannot comment on that.
I have provided 2 alternate options. AWS offers Free Tier https://aws.amazon.com/free/ up to 1 year and students can benefit from that.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

GChandra, did it get removed again? I just signed up for Community free edition, and I don't see an option to Upload files. Please advise.
