Files

Browse a sandbox's filesystem from the console — upload files in, view or edit them, and delete what you no longer need.

Every sandbox has a file browser in the console for its filesystem — upload files in, open and edit them, or delete what you don't need, all without leaving the page.

Browse files

Open the Files tab on a sandbox to see its directory tree. Click into any folder the same way you would in a desktop file manager.

Upload a file

Click Upload and choose a file from your computer — a dataset, a config file, a script — to drop it into the sandbox before running code against it.

View and edit a file

Click any file to open it in the built-in viewer. Text files open in an editor you can change and save directly; the next code you run sees the update immediately.

Download a file

Once code running in the sandbox has produced something — a report, a processed dataset, a build artifact — click Download on that file to pull it back to your computer.

Delete a file or folder

Select a file or folder and click Delete to remove it from the sandbox.

A realistic workflow

1. 1
   Upload the dataset

   Click Upload and pick the CSV, JSON, or other data file from your computer.
2. 2
   Write the script

   Open a new file in the editor and write a short script that reads the uploaded file, does the transformation you need, and writes an output file.
3. 3
   Run it

   Switch to Run code and execute the script. The file browser reflects any new or changed files as soon as the run finishes.
4. 4
   Download the result

   Open the output file in the file browser and click Download to pull it back to your computer.
