Hi All -

I am new to hugging face space. We are deploying a RAG application for a demo and we are trying to host the metadata and index file in hugging face persistence disk. I have the metadata file and index file in my computer and need suggestion how to upload it into the persistence disk in hugging face space. Thanks!

Regards
