Fabric Notebook - Get Data from Network Drive

Is it possible to essentially mount a network drive for use in a Fabric notebook? I've got a python script that I'm running on Windows that uses Windows network shares to grab data for manipulation. ...

    Hi diablo908  - Fabric notebooks are designed to operate in a cloud-based environment, which does not have direct access to your on-premises network drives or shared folders.you can copy your data from the network drive to an Azure File Share or Azure Blob Storage.
    Use Fabric notebook to connect to the Azure storage account and access the data using libraries like azure-storage-blob or azure-storage-file-share.

    If you can upload the files to the Fabric Lakehouse or OneLake storage, you can then access them directly within the Fabric notebook.

    FYR: 

    Load data from Azure Blob Storage into Python

    Hi diablo908 ,

     

    You can bring data from your network drive to lake house using dataflow gen2 and you can load the data to the data frame from lake house.

    Or you can pull data to a semantic model and publish it to premium capacity workspace and you can use semantic link to pull the data.

     

    I hope it will be helpful.

     

    Thanks,
