Hello @Werner Stinckens​ !

You're right! I missed the '/' earlier.

But, nothing changed after adding the '/' before dbfs. Below is the snip:

Moreover, when I tried the same path notation with SparkContext - It threw me an error:

I'm starting to wonder if this is the right way to provide the absolute path.

On the contrary, I've gave the path as "dbfs:/FileStore/tables/boringwords.txt" and it worked.

But again this doesn't work for reading the file from Local API.
