I have tried to change working directory to open my file but I did not get success.

setwd("C:/Users/André Neves/Desktop/")
Error in setwd("C:/Users/André Neves/Desktop/") :
cannot change working directory

Is there a manner to do it?

RStudio Cloud is an online service which provides an RStudio session running on a Linux server, and since the software doesn't run in your computer, it doesn't have access to your local file system, if you want to use data from a file, you have to upload it to the server with the "upload" button on the "Files" panel.

Then upload it to RStudio Cloud or use RStudio Desktop instead.
