Hi everyone,

I’m currently using Roboflow’s YOLOv8 Google Colab to do classification of some images into two categories. [Google Colab link:](https://colab.research.google.com/github/roboflow-ai/notebooks/blob/main/notebooks/train-yolov8-classification-on-custom-dataset.ipynb)  
I haven’t touched any of the code besides just importing my data from Roboflow where I’m supposed to, and I’m getting this error when I try to train my data:

It’s also telling me “FileNotFoundError: Couldn’t find any class folder in /content/datasets/Earplugs-Classification-2/train.”

Does anyone know what might be causing this error? Thanks in advance!

Yep, I had clicked the csv option while exporting my data from Roboflow instead of the file structure option
