# Copy Path Functionality
This page explains the Copy Path functionality for the added data.
The Copy Path operation can access Sandbox files uploaded with various file types inside the Data Science Notebook.
A file and the **Data Sandbox environment variable** (@SYS.DATASANDBOX\_PATH) can be generated with the **Copy Path** functionality and accessed inside the Data Science Notebooks.
