    Hi Lukemattestor ,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. 

     

    Hi burakkaragoz , KevinChant , Thank you for your prompt response.

     

    Hi Lukemattestor , In addition to KevinChant , i am adding some alternative workarounds.

     

    Please refer below workarounds.

     

    1. Create a dedicated folder structure within your lakehouse for user access. Aske the users to navigate directly to those folders in OneLake File Explorer. And avoid placing notebooks, pipelines, or dataflows in the same directory as lakehouse data.

     

    2. Use workspace-level permissions in Microsoft Fabric to limit visibility. This helps isolate lakehouse data from other Fabric components.

     

    Please refer Microsoft document.

    Access Fabric data locally with OneLake file explorer - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

     

    I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.

     

    Regards,

    Dinesh

If you are using Microsoft Fabric and installed OneLake File Explorer you may notice it shows all workspace items like Pipelines Notebooks and Dataflows not just the Lakehouse

Solution is to map directly to the Lakehouse folder

Steps

Open File Explorer
Right click This PC and select Map network drive
Choose any drive letter for example Z
Enter the path
