I see that OneDrive is involved. From what I’ve see, OneDrive puts things in places that users don’t realize, see this thread. It may help you start to sort out what is going on. See also here.
I see. That is a weird glitch.
Was it working before and something changed?
Have you tried using Jupyter in a different browser?
Does it happen for all folders though?
What if you switch to light mode?
fomightez, thanks for your answer. Yes I have used others browser, FireFox, Brave, Opera, no changes, the same problem. I have switch to light mode, no changes. But, I am remembering tht this issue was after a windows update, before this, jupiterLab worked fine. Yesterday I uninstall all Jupiter and Python too, and I installed all from zero, but the problem is the same, I don’t know what I can do
Does it happen if you use JupyterLab served via a remote computer, too? You can go here and click ‘Launch Binder’ there. A session should start up eventually. Try the file browser panel in that session there. You should be able to drag local files from your system onto the remote system to test.
How did you install? If you haven’t tried the Anaconda Distribution yet, maybe try that and see if it helps? It may be isolated enough form whatever is underlying this issue on your system to help.
fomightez thanks for your answer. Well I use Jupyterlab from 2021. I have installed python jupiterlab and everthing with pip and until 3 day ago, always was fine. Well, I don’t know what is happening, really
Did you try from the remote system too? Instead of using your local installation.
This is a problem for me as well. I cannot browse to another directory.

Did you mean to post that in this ‘Access the parent folder with JupyterLab’ thread?
You are posting under a case where the files were there but didn’t give an indication that they were there unless you moused over them.
In your case, you see files and a directory listed. Not the same issue.
Can you browser into the data directory listed there? If you can, then you indeed can browser into another directory.
You are absolutely correct. I can browse to the ./Data directory. I should’ve been more careful in posting. I figured it was related. Newbie error. Thanks for this link. This is exactly what I needed to find.
Apologies for necro-posting, but I administer a larger JupyterHub environment and had a similar issue like this pop up this week, so I’ll add my small bit.
Turns out in the language translation for the UI, using an input that is invalid (which is extremely easy because it expects a user to type a language rather than a menu of valid language codes of installed language packs), you can get this behavior in our environment. No idea if that is the original issue here, but was easily broken by using “Norwegian” instead of either “no” or “nob” as the language code.
derecho8:~/.jupyter> grep -R nob .
./lab/user-settings/@jupyterlab/translation-extension/plugin.jupyterlab-settings: "locale": "nb",
The value of local was a regular text input in Settings -> Language
While I get the sentiment about having more language packs installed, seems like a UX improvement opportunity; but also, I know that our installation or JupyterLab here is outdated.
Ultimately this was easily found using Chrome development tools, but don’t expect the average user to leverage those tools necessarily.
Some may find this useful, others may not, but a reminder that the browser developer tools can help pinpoint the issue(s).
Thank you for posting, this definitely should be handled with validation at settings level or at least a user-visible dialog and never an error hidden in console. I am not sure if we can have a dropdown (which requires knowing all valid language codes) but maybe it is possible. Would like to open an issue on Issues · jupyterlab/jupyterlab · GitHub or would you like me to open one?
