4 years ago Hi, Thanks for reaching. I'm going to assume the two files are not in the Carnets application folder, but in the folder of a different application.
If that is indeed the case, the explanation is simple: iOS has very restrictive file access permissions. An application can only access files in its own directory, and files for which it received explicit permission. When you clicked on the notebook to open it, you explicitly granted Carnets permission to open the notebook. But that permission does not extend to other files, even if they are in the same directory.
The solution is simple: you need to also grant Carnets permission to access the entire directory. There is a button for this in the user interface, the one that looks like a folder (circled in red in the first image).
Once you click it, you see a menu where you can select a folder. Navigate to the folder enclosing the notebook and the excel file, and click "Done".
Once this is done, your notebook has access to the entire directory, and thus to the excel file.
If my original assumption was wrong, let's keep talking.

I am relatively new to Github so I apologize if this is not the appropriate place to post this. I tried Carnets on my iPad pro. Even though I have an excel file and the Jupyter notebook in the same folder Carnets cannot find it. Any thoughts how to troubleshoot?
