Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't I see my data in flow-data?
You need to:
- Mark the data as importable using the "Add to notebooks" button in Flow
- Restart your notebook server - this is required for the files to appear
Can I modify files in flow-data?
No, the flow-data/ folder is read-only to preserve data integrity. To work with modified data:
- Read the original file from
flow-data/ - Process it in your notebook
- Save the results to the
notebooks/folder
Why do all files have random numbers in their names?
The numbers are Flow file IDs that ensure unique filenames. This prevents conflicts when multiple files have the same name and ensures consistency - a file will always have the same name in your notebook environment.
How much storage space do I have?
Storage limits depend on your Flow instance configuration. Contact your Flow administrator if you need additional space.
Can I share notebooks with other users?
Currently, each user has their own isolated notebook environment. To share analyses, export your notebooks or share code snippets through other means.
