Answer 1

I was trying to do the same: to save my kaggle model to google drive.

When you call gauth.Authorize(), the gauth object is looking for a valid 'gauth.credentials".

Instead of using "gauth.credentials = GoogleCredentials.get_application_default()", I'm using:

# Try to load saved client credentials
gauth = GoogleAuth()
credential_file = 'gdrive.json'
gauth.LoadCredentialsFile(credential_file)

The credential file is created at your local computer by:

gauth = GoogleAuth()
credential_file = 'gdrive.json'
gauth.LocalWebserverAuth()
gauth.SaveCredentialsFile(credential_file)

After getting the the credential file, upload it to kaggle then you can use it in your session.

The credential will expire but I tried my kaggle session after 8 hours and it's still working.

Checking the expire time using:

gauth.credentials.token_expiry

Answer 2

I was facing the same problem and was able download files from Kaggle to Colab then move to Google Drive. For example, if the current directory is /kaggle/working and the file to move is processed_file.zip then,

From Kaggle

from IPython.display import FileLink
FileLink(r'processed_file.zip')

This will generate a link,

https://....kaggle.net/...../processed_file.zip

From Colab

!wget "https://....kaggle.net/...../processed_file.zip"

Mount Google Drive

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

Move to Google Drive

!cp "/content/processed_file.zip" "/content/drive/My Drive/workspace"
