How access jupyter notebook above level of my user account

[Murray Eisenberg]

On my Mac (macOS 10.14.4), I'm running Jupyter Notebook 5.7.8 from within Anaconda Navigator 1.9.7. 

How do I browse there to a jupyter notebook that is in a folder I own but not within my own user folder (or subfolders thereof); the file is:

/Application\ Docs/Programming/Jupyter/jupyter_tutorial/jupyter_tutorial_01.ipynb 

The page http://localhost:8889/tree shows only folders inside my user folder, and I see no way to reach a higher level above that for some other folder in the root tree.

You could use the Terminal to make a symbolic link, e.g., if you type

cd /Application\ Docs/Programming/Jupyter/jupyter_tutorial/; ln -s / root

in the terminal, you'll see a new folder called root from the Jupyter
file browser, and if you click on that, you'll be at the root of your
filesystem.

You can also use the terminal in Jupyter itself to make this symbolic link.

I had already tried a macOS alias, but that did not work; an actual symlink does. Thanks!

You can find your config file like jupyter_notebook_config.py, and set  c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = '/the/path/to/home/folder/'  in it. Maybe it works.
