def save(self, filename, format=None):
        """
        Save the SFrame to a file system for later use.

        Parameters
        ----------
        filename : string
            The location to save the SFrame. Either a local directory or a
            remote URL. If the format is 'binary', a directory will be created
            at the location which will contain the sframe.

        format : {'binary', 'csv', 'json'}, optional
            Format in which to save the SFrame. Binary saved SFrames can be
            loaded much faster and without any format conversion losses. If not
            given, will try to infer the format from filename given. If file
            name ends with 'csv' or '.csv.gz', then save as 'csv' format,
            otherwise save as 'binary' format.
