SIMPLE WAY TO CONNECT    1  You ll have to verify authentication  from google colab import auth auth authenticate user   from oauth2client client import GoogleCredentials creds   GoogleCredentials get application default     2 To fuse google drive   apt-get install -y -qq software-properties-common python-software-properties module-init-tools  add-apt-repository -y ppa alessandro-strada ppa 2 gt  amp 1  gt   dev null  apt-get update -qq 2 gt  amp 1  gt   dev null  apt-get -y install -qq google-drive-ocamlfuse fuse   3 To verify credentials  import getpass  google-drive-ocamlfuse -headless -id  creds client id  -secret  creds client secret   lt   dev null 2 gt  amp 1   grep URL vcode   getpass getpass    echo  vcode    google-drive-ocamlfuse -headless -id  creds client id  -secret  creds client secret    4 Create a drive name to use it in colab   gdrive   and check if it s working   mkdir gdrive  google-drive-ocamlfuse gdrive  ls gdrive  cd gdrive

Colab research team has a notebook for helping you out  Still  in short  if you are dealing with a zip file  like for me it is mostly thousands of images and I want to store them in a folder within drive then do this --  unzip -u  quot  content drive My Drive folder example zip quot  -d  quot  content drive My Drive folder NewFolder quot  -u part controls extraction only if new necessary  It is important if suddenly you lose connection or hardware switches off  -d creates the directory and extracted files are stored there  Of course before doing this you need to mount your drive from google colab import drive  drive mount   content drive    I hope this helps  Cheers

After mounting on drive  use shutil unpack archive  It works with almost all archive formats  e g      zip        tar        gztar        bztar        xztar     and it s simple   import shutil shutil unpack archive  filename    path to extract
