Jupyter-notebook does not show my desktop folders

when I launch jupyter notebook, I select desktop Folder, it says the folder is empty. I have many folders on desktop but jupyter notebook does not show any of them. Any idea how I can fix it?

Can Find desktop folder in Jupyter Notebook can t?

You could use the Anaconda Prompt to navigate to the 'C:/' folder (or any other folder you want) and then launch jupyter notebook from there.

How do I view desktop files in Jupyter Notebook?

Right-click on a file or directory and select “Copy Shareable Link” to copy a URL that can be used to open JupyterLab with that file or directory open. Right-click on a file or directory and select “Copy Path” to copy the filesystem relative path.

I was experiencing the same issue as I could not access both desktop and documents on jupyter notebooks because on jupyter notebook it was showing that these folders are empty and I was very frustrated lol. It could be the folders are auto backed up on OneDrive, so on jupyter notebook, access them through onedrive i.e. onedrive>desktop or any other folders such as documents. I accessed them through onedrive. I hope it works for you too.
