I have Anaconda installed on both a PC and a MAC at different locations. I also have been using A-cloud to learn python. I have a “local” Jup/lab notebook(on my pc) and I would like to open and save it in A-cloud so that I can access it anywhere. How would one go about doing that?
thanks!

There’s many ways. Jupyter .ipynb files are just text/json files and so any way you typically manage to move your text files to where you will work.
The typical code-centric way is to install git on your machine and use that to sync with your repository at GitHub or GitLab. There is browser-based access, too. GitHub is default public with private access as an advanced feature. My understanding is that GitLab is private by default with public being a feature you can pay to add.
If you aren’t doing huge demanding computation you can use temporary MyBinder sessions on remote machines to work in. They are launched with images of the repo itself. And then make sure you save the file to your local machine and push the changes with git or post them using the browser-based access to your repo for next time. Here’s an example: go here and click on the ‘launch binder’ badge. When the session comes up, you’ll get the posted version of the Jupyter .ipynb file. You can then work on it and make changes and save them to your local machine. If that repo was yours, you could push the changes with git or post them there using the browser-based access and you’d be ready to go next time.
