How to access files from the dBFS file system?
dbutils.fs provides file-system-like commands to access files in DBFS. This section has several examples of how to write files to and read files from DBFS using dbutils.fs commands.
How to access the Databricks file system ( dBFS )?
On a local computer you access DBFS objects using the Databricks CLI or the DBFS API. You can work with files on DBFS or on the local driver node of the cluster. You can access the file system using magic commands such as %fs or %sh. You can also use the Databricks file system utility (dbutils.fs).
Where is the writeable data stored in dBFS?
Data written to mount point paths ( /mnt) is stored outside of the DBFS root. Even though the DBFS root is writeable, we recommend that you store data in mounted object storage rather than in the DBFS root. For some time DBFS used an S3 bucket in the Databricks account to store data that is not stored on a DBFS mount point.
How does a Databricks cluster access a dBFS file?
In a Databricks cluster you access DBFS objects using Databricks file system utilities, Spark APIs, or local file APIs. On a local computer you access DBFS objects using the Databricks CLI or the DBFS API. You can work with files on DBFS or on the local driver node of the cluster.
Which is the default storage location in dBFS?

How to combine all.dbf files into one file?
As there are lots of rasters (hundreds) this sped things up a little. Finally, outside of ModelBuilder, to combine the resultant .dbf files into a single file Command Prompt was used such that: Type copy *.dbf all.txt and hit enter to copy all data in the files into all.txt. I hope this helps anybody with the same issue.
