Access to Data folders in JuliaHub

Have just learned here on how to open an image file stored in JuliaHub/Data with the aid of DataSets package.

Alternatively, I wonder if creating a shell symlink in the project’s folder which points out to Data’s dataset main folder would also work?

Right now, JuliaHub’s DataSets are a fairly thin layer atop the native cloud blob store (an S3 bucket in this case). So they’re fetched on-demand and don’t actually ever appear on the filesystem unless you explicitly download them.

So we don’t (yet!) have the ability to show them in the filesystem alongside your code. But we’re actively building a more seamless filesystem integration, and hopefully it’ll be easier to use in the future!
