Thank you very much for the new free edition.

I have a question related to dbfs.

Am I to understand that dbfs is disabled in this edition and one needs to bring their own storage. I tried this and failed. What do I need to do in order to be able to use dbfs in the free edition.

dbutils.fs.mkdirs("dbfs:/test_folder")

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

Thank you very much in advance.
