"The system cannot find the path specified."/ "The notebook list is empty"

Please I need help with an issue.

I can't access the folders in my Documents folder on Command Prompt. I also noticed this problem with my Jupyter Notebook. The system does not detect the folders in my Documents folder. It returns an error message on Command Prompt which says, "The system cannot find the path specified.". On Jupyter Notebook, it's still the same issue; it says, "The notebook list is empty." But my Documents folder is not empty.

Please, what is causing this issue?

I use a Windows 10 HP computer.

I had the same issue and I realized OneDrive creates a backup from folders such as Documents, Desktop, Pictures,...

You can open the OneDrive folder on your computer or in Jupyter notebook and see all files are there.

In order to access them via Jupyter notebook directly, you can type cd OneDrive in Command Prompt then start Jupyter Notebook there. Then all the files will be shown.

For example in Windows 10, I use these lines in Command Prompt:

cd OneDrive

python -m notebook

Check the permissions of the particular folder. On the respective folder, right-click --> give access to-->. In the appearing list, make sure that "view and edit" access is granted to all users if you have more than 1.

(To do this you will require admin privileges. So make sure in your windows PC you have logged on as an admin.)
