Do you get any error when uploading?
It looks like it can upload but can't download afterwards.

Immediately after i use “add_external_files” i see it changed the original file link and removed from it the “ gs://bucket_name ”

I just downgraded to 1.7.2, will wait for the fix.
Thanks for the workaround.

not getting any error when uploading.
I use “add_external_files” so it is not really uploading the file just the dataset info

this only affects single files, if you wish to add directories (with wildcards as well) you should be able to

For now we store only one file in a dataset.

You could try this in the meantime if you don't mind temporary workarounds:
dataset.add_external_files(source_url=" ", wildcard=["file1.csv"], recursive=False)
