I would suggest you to test it firstly   copy this train csv to the same directory as this jupyter script in and then change the path to train csv to test whether this can be loaded successfully    If yes  that means the previous path input is a problem  If not  that means the file it self denied your access to it  or its real filename can be something else like  train csv  lt hidden extension gt

Here s a possibile solution  in Python    Let s say you have a notebook with a file name  call it Notebook ipynb  You are currently working in that notebook  and want to access other folders and files around it  Here s it s path   import os notebook path   os path abspath  Notebook ipynb     In other words  just use the os module  and get the absolute path of your notebook  it s a file  too    From there  use the os module and your path to navigate   For example  if your train csv is in a folder called  Datasets   and the notebook is sitting right next to that folder  you could get the data like this   train csv   os path join os path dirname notebook path    Datasets train csv   with open train csv  as file           etc   The takeaway is that the notebook has a file name  and as long as your language supports pathname manipulations  e g  the os module in Python  you can likely use the notebook filename   Lastly  the reason your code fails is probably because you re either trying to access local files  like your Mac s  Downloads  folder  when you re working in an online Notebook  like Kaggle  which hosts your environment for you  online and away from your Mac   or you moved or deleted something in that path  This is what the os module in Python is meant to do  it will find the file s path whether it s on your Mac or in a Kaggle server

simple way is to move your files to be read under the same folder of your python file  then you just need to use the name of the file  without calling another path

I do not know if it s what you were looking for  but it sounds to me something like this   This is for linux  ubuntu  but maybe it also works on mac   If the file is a pdf called  book pdf  and is located in your downloads  then   import subprocess  path   home user Downloads book pdf  subprocess call   evince   path     where evince is the program that open pdfs in ubuntu
