Known issues and limitations
IBM® Cloud Shell includes the following known issues and limitations that might impact your experience.
Known issues

- Adding files outside of your
/home/<user-name>home directory can cause Cloud Shell to close, particularly if the files are large. - You can mount (or mount by using a volume switch) your home directory or subdirectories of your home directory to your Docker container. If you mount to another location, an error results.
Limitations
