Hello, I have a group of students who want to make an ai powered app and have a existing text based dataset as a .csv file and they would like to use it to make a recommendation system app using thunkable. Is it possible to export/upload such a file on Thunkable and can it be used for the purpose mentioned above?  
Any help would be greatly appreciated!  
Thanks!

Sounds like you may want to just upload the csv to a Google drive and then use the Google Sheets data source with a data viewer and access the data based on that.

> **[Google Sheets Data Source](https://docs.thunkable.com/getting-started/data-sources/data-sources)**

> Connecting your project to a data source allows you to work with the information that you have stored in Airtable, Google Sheets, Webflow or a local table.
