It would be great if you could handle the /resources folder also with a ftp client / your favorite text editor with ftp connection

Right now when I drag and drop a .csv file, it gets moved to /resources which in turn doesn't show up in "My Data" which default to /resources/data (unless I browse up by one folder).

I would be great to have /resources/data be the default upload location.

I've been working with Julia (and Jupyter) for over a year. It's pretty robust and Julia is kinda addictive: certain things can be written quite elegantly, and it's hard to rephrase in other languages. Spark integration with Julia is still early stage...

I would like to see support for Julia in the Data Scientist Workbench. This may support development on Julia/Spark as well.

The Recent Data panel on the bottom right retains items, even after the underlying files are deleted. The view becomes so cluttered, I can't easily find the data files that I need. Would like the ability to completely clear all the files that show up in that section (so I can start over). Deleting each file individually from the view one by one, would take all day.

When I click on the filepath, I don't expect to download it. I hope to see a dropdown list of actions I can do, including copy filepath.

It's hard to see which filenames line up to which set of icons on the right-hand side. Could you alternate the colour of the rows (grey - white - grey -white) to make easier to read?

The menu bar on the left is too big. There should be an option to hide it (not just minimize). The reason is work space on the page not enough when I work on a small screen, tablet or phone. Portable tool should be main reason people like to select to use for cloud platform.

I think you should lead visitors to your site through a recommended path: What should they do first and second? Can they pick some in preference to some others and still learn what they want to learn? How much of prerequisite knowledge should they have? Hold my hands and take me in, instead of expecting me to poke here and there.

NUPIC is a famous and useful tool for time series and anomaly detection， but I cannot install it on my workbench。

Collaborate with other in the same notebook

As a user in China, I may want to load my dataset files from Aliyun OSS.

Add Caravel new Open Source project from Airbnb in the DSWB. See a quick demo here:

Watch a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Txm_nj_R7M

Caravel's main goal is to make it easy to slice, dice and visualize data. It empowers users to perform analytics at the speed of thought.

Caravel provides:

-A quick way to intuitively visualize datasets by allowing users to create and share interactive dashboards
-A rich set of visualizations to analyze your data, as well as a flexible way to extend the capabilities

I need a folder, for example, "My Shared" folder to see all of my notebboks/datasets that I have shared with others. It prevent my to change/remove a notebook that I have shared with others.

I would like to sort my files in "My Data" based on "Modified date", "Size", etc.

I have saved a data set using python in Jupyter notebook, but I dont see the file in myfolder unless I refresh the browser. Having a refresh button in the current folder helps.

When I drag and drop a dataset (e.g. .csv file) into Jupyter, it goes into /resource/ folder, and not into /resource/data/ folder. So, I cannot see my dataset in "My Data"
