Follow the steps below to upload a file to MindsDB.
Note that the trailing whitespaces on column names are erased upon uploading a file to MindsDB.
  1. Access the MindsDB Editor.
  2. Open the Add menu and choose Upload file.

  3. Select a file, provide its name, and click on Save & Continue.

  4. Now you can query the file. 
    SELECT * FROM files.file_name;
Here is how to list all files: 
SHOW TABLES FROM files;
This command is the same as the command for listing tables because files uploaded to MindsDB become tables within the MindsDB ecosystem and are stored in the files database.
