getting to this way after you guys, but I take

You can now load the data into R in the same way you would if you were working with data stored on your computer with the desktop version of R.

to mean that you now can load the data into R by locating the correct path within the server and using read_csv. So this is analogous to how you would load data into R when you're working on the desktop version of RStudio except that now you read in files from a directory on the server as opposed to from a directory on your computer. Basically I agree that we should change the language and make it more clear, but I do think that that statement is true and accurate, just maybe not helpful for our audience

regarding the comments about

You can now load the data into R in the same way you would if you were working with data stored on your computer with the desktop version of R.

I have updated the section to now read:

The data is now uploaded to the server. To use your data, you will need to import your file into your R environment from the location where you saved it on the server. For instructions on importing a .csv into your R environment, see the 'From a .csv' page. For more information on this topic, as well as specific instructions for loading different types of data, see the pages under the 'Loading Data' section of the R tutorials page.

I didn't feel like the server page was the right place to include info on importing the data for use, but I tried to add clear references to the second step, and point people in the right direction to where they can find the necessary info.
