Cannot browse/find my files #4401

Open kirstenvl opened 5 years ago

kirstenvl commented 5 years ago

In Jupyter notebook I cannot browse my documents to open the files I need. So I see my main files, but I cannot browse in them, it seems as if they are empty. How can I solve this?

Newer user here, but I have dealt with some of this recently. I suspect Jupyter's home directory is deeper into your local tree than you believe it to be. Jupyter will, by default, start where its executable is sitting. If you are in Windows, you could create a .bat (batch or shell script) file along these lines:

"C:\install folder\Jupyter Notebook.exe" --no-browser --notebook-dir="C:/"

Then you can copy the link (like localhost:####longtoken) from the command line window into a browser of your choice. The notebook's home will be the directory at the end of the line above. If you are in something besides Windows, search on similar terms for similar options.

Hi! Thanks for your answer. As you might have noticed I am also a very new user. This does seem to be my problem indeed. I would like to try your solution, only I'm not sure if I understand your last paragraph. Where exactly do I copy the link into?

put this link (http...) in the address bar of your browser. Use a 64-bit browser if possible.

I got it! In a different way in the end, but it works now. Thanks a bunch!
