Azure ML Studio Notebooks folder structure

Question

Is it possible to create non-user folders for Notebooks in Azure ML Studio? I would look to organize my notebooks into folders, but outside of my persona user folder structure (similar to how Azure Databricks allows you to create folders within the workspace) – doesn’t look like that is possible, but wanted to double check.

Answer 1

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Currently, there's no way to create non-user folders in AML Studio. All files and folders and stored in the user's location. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I found a way via Azure Storage Browser...

Home -> Resource Group -> [resource group]

Find the resource in the list with Type of "Storage Account" (it'll be the name of your workspace with random numbers after.

In the left panel, select Storage Browser -> File shares and select the one that has starts with "code" and a bunch of alphanumeric characters after.

In there, you'll find a Users directory. Click on that and you'll see the list of notebook directories.

Select "Add directory" from the top bar.

Hope that helps!.....and that Microsoft will make this a much easier process from the Notebooks section in ML in the future!!!

Hi,

I am able to create a folder and a file in/under other users folder via Azure Machine Learning Studio UI.

See also the attached screenshot. Am I missing something here? I was expecting 'not allowed' error message.
