If you go to the Qiskit Notebooks section, you will see this button

If you click import you can chose to upload the file from your computer into IQX.

Yes, but one can only upload ipynb files, not any other file, like a csv file. – Amitava Chakraborty Nov 20 '19 at 14:33

I followed this method and I was able to upload a csv, you just cannot open them inside IQX. Are you receiving an error message when you try to? – met927 Nov 20 '19 at 14:39

no, but it does not show it. So if I upload a csv this way, I can access it from the code as if its is in the same directory as the code, is it? – Amitava Chakraborty Nov 20 '19 at 18:38

I had to close and re-open my notebook for it to see an imported .py file, but then it worked. Thanks for pointing out that Import can be used for non-ipynb files! – Max Apr 24 '20 at 22:30
