Hi All, I am new to JupyterLab and I have a question in regards to File Upload.  
When I upload multiple larger files it always prompts me the message “Large file warning… do you want to upload” and I need to confirm every individual time. This is kind of annoying, any way of disabling this warning message? Thanks 🙂

I don’t know about disabling that warning, but there are some options besides that. You could combine the multiple large files into one, with `tar czf` for example, before you upload that archive. Then you only face the warning once. Alternatively, you can make the archive accessible via URL on DropBox or similar place and use `curl -O` or `wget` to get the archive from inside the notebook or a terminal. If you can make the files public, you can also put them at GitHub and then use git to pull them in.

Thanks for your feedback! I have never used tar czf before. But that could be an option since zip does not work.  
Dropbox or Github are not option since it is sensitive data.
