Read file from drive in google colab

Question

I Have read the notebook about how to open drive. I already did as instructed using:

from google.colab import drive
drive.mount(\'/content/drive\')
         


        

Answer 1

It is straight forward.

from google.colab import drive drive.mount('/content/drive')

This will ask to open a url which will authorize the mount after you copy paste the token.

If you are not able to read files even now, then prefix your file path with this: 'drive/My Drive' and you are good to go.

For example: file = 'drive/My Drive/data/file.txt'

Where data is a directory in my Google Drive containing file.txt file.
