# Copy Path (for Sandbox files)

Sandbox files uploaded with the following file types can be accessed inside the Data Science Notebook using the Copy Path operation.

A file along with the **Data Sandbox environment variable** (@SYS.DATASANDBOX\_PATH) can be generated with the **Copy Path** functionality and accessed inside the Data Science Lab Notebooks.

{% hint style="info" %}
*<mark style="color:green;">Please Note</mark>: The **Copy Path** functionality can be used to read Sandbox files. The supported File types for the Copy Path functionality are **txt,*** ***png**, **jpg**, **jpeg,*** ***xls**, **xlsm,** and **mp4**.*
{% endhint %}

* Navigate to the ***Notebook*** page.
* Open the ***Datasets*** tab.
* Select a Sandbox file with the supported file types (**txt**, **png**, **jpg**, **jpeg**, **xls**, **xlsm**, and **mp4)**.
