I am working on an app that takes an input file, does some calculations, visualizes them (using Streamlit) and then writes out a report. All of this works perfectly fine, except for the input file part.
On my local machine, I can use a text-box to specify the path (not very elegant though), but once deployed in the cloud even this hack will not be possible.
Are there any file upload/drag-and-drop options built into streamlit?
Thanks!
Hi @RichardOberdieck. Welcome to the community 
!
This feature is on the way and is actively being implemented. Please follow that pull request for the latest updates!
Thank you for using Streamlit! 
You can work around this by running a separate file server. Thats what I do.
Contact me if you want the details.

Great to hear! Especially useful for pipeline analyses or deep learning applications.
Would be good to specifiy file type manually.
Hi Marc,
Could you kindly share details on how you done this please, I am also having the same problem as @RichardOberdieck
