File location iPad #200

Open Nanashi252 opened 3 years ago

I can‘t seem to find my notebook files in my files app anywhere. I downloaded a template my school uses over google collabs in my drive and opened it in Carnets. But now when I want to download the notebook so that I can upload the assignment it doesn’t show. I already tried going over file>Download as>Notebook but that doesn‘t seem to put it in my files app. Any suggestions?

Hi, I'm not sure I understand the question. Is the issue related to downloading files to the iPad, or to placing them in a position where Carnets can find them? Having more information would help here.

You mentionned that you could open the file in Carnets, and presumably work on it, and now are looking for the modified file. If that is indeed the case, it is likely that you have an issue related to file permissions in iOS. Google Drive (and most other external drive apps) do not follow Apple's file provider API, and do not allow an app like Carnets to edit the content of a file. Carnets can read the file, but not write to it.

For that reason, Carnets has made a local copy of the notebook, in ~/tmp/.... You can get transfer that local copy to a directory that you can see in the Files app by typing !cp *.ipynb ~/Documents in a cell. The file will then appear in "On my iPad/Carnets".

If I misunderstood the question, you can help by providing screenshots with the location of the file, and the result of "!pwd" and "!ls".

Hello again, opening a new cell with !cp *.ipynb ~/Documents was the solution. Thanks for the response even though my Question was not as precise. Also thanks for explaining everything!

I'm glad the issue is fixed. A word of warning: you now have two identical notebooks (on in ~/tmp/ and one in ~/Documents/). You should close the first one and open the second, to be sure you work on a notebook that is visible for the Files app.

Ok, thanks for letting me know!
