Because it's a delta table, you don't need to provide the schema.

Hi @Jason Schmit​ ,Your file might be too large to upload by using the upload interface docs I will recommend to split it up into smaller files. You can also use DBFS CLI, dbutils to upload your file.

Where is dbfs mounted with community edition?

The the regular version of databricks, the dbfs is mounted at /dbfs. This does not seem to be the case with community edition. I am seeking more details.

If you are using DBR 7.x. or newer versions the dbfs is disabled. You have to use dbutils.fs.cp commands as a workaround.

Notebooks are not stored in DBFS. They cannot be directly listed from the file system. You should use the Databricks REST API to list and get the detailshttps://docs.databricks.com/dev-tools/api/latest/workspace.html#list
