Was DBFS disabled from community edition?

[JuanSeValencia]

Hello
I'm trying to use the Upload data to DBFS... from Databricks community edition but it's disabled. I'm also trying to activate it using the path Settings>Advanced>Other but the option is not longer in the list. Is this a temporary or permanent modification in the community edition?

Hi @JuanSeValencia ,

Can confirm. I can't find it either. 

[Prasanth05]

Yes. I can confirm that I cannot see dbfs and cannot see option to enable dbfs file browser. Strange..

However, you can access it using dbutils.fs or %fs commands

I can't find it either.

But will it be possible to find the DBFS by this?.

I am also having this problem as of today. I was able to upload to DBFS by clicking File --> Upload data to DBFS a few days ago. Now Uploaded data to DBFS is greyed out.

Same here, I found the files I had uploaded using the %fs ls <path> command, but I do not know how to upload more files. Nor are the toggle-able options available in community edition

I'm also having a same problem. is there any other way to add a files in DBFS?

Looking for answer on the above point only. 

Question to the person who is showing the notebook way, if they can provide a documentation or link by which we can upload a file to there? 

I know how to access the files over there, however not sure on the upload part

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

access_key = ""

secret_key = ""

encoded_secret_key = secret_key.replace("/", "%2F")

aws_bucket_name = "yourawsbucketname/"

mount_name = "youraliasmountname"

# #dbutils.fs.unmountf"/mnt/{mount_name}")

dbutils.fs.mount(f"s3a://{access_key}:{encoded_secret_key}@{aws_bucket_name}", f"/mnt/{mount_name}")

After mounting
goto next cell %fs ls /mnt/youraliasmountname

Hi guys, I have the same problem but I found a solution. sorry about my english but i'll try to explain how to acess the files:

# First using the dbutils command to find a folder or file.

files = dbutils.fs.ls('/FileStore/')

# second copying from FileStore to folder into a cluster.

for file in files:

dbutils.fs.cp(file.path, f'file:/tmp/{file.name}')

it's done. Now you can acess the files.

files will be deleted after the cluster is shut down
