Files Operations

This section helps the user to understand the attributes provided to the file folder created inside a normal Data Science Lab project.

The File Folder in the Data Science Lab (DSLab) module allows users to manage files and folders within the workspace. Users can perform several operations, including adding files, creating folders, copying file paths, and importing files. These operations ensure seamless file management and easy integration with notebooks and projects.
