I am new to the Databricks Free Edition. I am trying to upload a screenshot to be able to put it in a table and run some AI functions against it. It is not letting me upload a .png file. After several attempts I am being told that the root cause is public DBFS root is disabled for my workspace. Are we able to upload screenshot to the fee edition?

Hi @Bob- ,
upload .png to DBFS is not supported in free edition where as you can use Trail/Paid workspace. Also /Filestore path is is not supported in free edition

Hi @Bob- ,
Storing and accessing data using DBFS root or DBFS mounts is a deprecated pattern and not recommended by Databricks.
You can use unity catalog volume to upload PNG file, which should be available in free edition.

@Bob- Can you explain your use case? I'm not sure I understand "I am trying to upload a screenshot to be able to put it in a table and run some AI functions against it."
Are you trying to perform OCR?
