jupyter widgets - file upload - unable to read file in databricks

Question

I'm trying to use a jupyter file upload widget (ipywidgets/ipyvuetify..) to read a file from my local machine in a databricks notebook.

I considered ipywidgets, but databricks doesn't seem to support the file upload feature in ipywidgets - https://docs.databricks.com/notebooks/ipywidgets.html#limitations

I found another widget library called ipyvuetify.

This is the code I tried. Picking the file works as expected.

from ipyvuetify.extra import FileInput
file_input = FileInput()
file_input

files = file_input.get_files()
data = files[0]['file_obj'].read()
data

I get this timeout exception when I try the read() above -

Exception                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
File <command-2037501063098494>:1
----> 1 data = files[0]['file_obj'].read()
      2 data

    141         await process_messages()
--> 143 asyncio.run(read_all())
    144 return size

     33 task = asyncio.ensure_future(main)
     34 try:

Would really appreciate any input solving this, or if anyone has done something similar in databricks.
