title: How to read/load local files in Databricks?
body: <p>is there anyway of reading files located in my local machine other than navigating to 'Data'&gt; 'Add Data' on Databricks.</p>
  <p>in my past experience using Databricks, when using s3 buckets, I was able to just read and load a dataframe by just specifying the path like so: i.e</p>
  <p><code>df = spark.read.format('delta').load('&lt;path&gt;') </code></p>
  <p>is there any way i can do something like this using databricks to read local files?</p>
