Hi all, I'm trying to work on a collaborator's notebook that's sitting on their /glade/u/. I'm running Jupyter lab through Casper. When I go to File > Open from path..., I keep getting that the path couldn't be found, even though it exists and I have read/write permissions (I've tried both absolute (/glade/...) and relative path names). Any ideas on why this might be? Is there a way to open notebooks that aren't in our home directories? thanks!

@Dan Amrhein, I think the problem is that you can't access data outside your home directory via the Jupyter file browser. You can open a terminal and copy or symlink that notebook to your home directory and open from there.

That did it, thanks @Matt Long
