@Sai ram try it without the double '\'. For example, C:\Users\praveenkumarg\Desktop\Image.png

@Sai ram

You can use file system view to upload file from your laptop

The above approach won't work because you are in sandbox and trying to read laptop local drive

You need to share the host directory to guest. Only then you can browse host filesystem. Refer to virtualbox docs for guest sharing. @Sai ram

Fastest way is to scp the file to sandbox and then copyfromlocal but guest sharing will let you drop files to sandbox with drag and drop. To scp you'd use

scp -P 2222 file root@127.0.0.1:

Then you can find your file in /root @Sai ram

@Sai ram

Stick with file system view in ambari to upload the data from your local desktop

Easiest option 🙂

@Sai ram Did it work? Did you try File System view?

@Neeraj Sabharwal I am looking into NFS gateway to use in the Sandbox, working on it
