# Upload the Dataset

Let's begin by uploading the dataset in Catalyst QuickML using the available dataset [dataset connectors](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/quickml/help/data-connectors/zoho-apps/).

1. Navigate to the QuickML service in the Catalyst console and click `Start Exploring`.

2. Navigate to the `Datasets` component and click `Import Dataset`.

3. An Import Dataset pop-up will be displayed. In the **Data Sources** step, navigate to File Upload and click `Upload File`.

 Upload the movie reviews dataset that you have already downloaded. We can have the Quotes Type as "**Double Quotes(")**" and Escape Character as "**Backslash(\)**" and click `Next`.

The name of the dataset will be auto-populated based on the uploaded file. You can edit it, if required, and click `Upload`.

Once you click on the **Movie Review Sentiments dataset** in the list, you'll be redirected to the Dataset Details page.

1. The dataset's [statistical profile](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/quickml/help/data-profiler-and-viewer/) overview, sample preview, and visualization chart are shown below.

2. In addition to it, upon selecting the text column, statistical information about the textual records (reviews in our case) and a [word cloud](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/quickml/help/learning-center/text-analytics/#visualizations) are generated automatically once the dataset is uploaded.
