This allows you to upload your files through Google Drive   Run the below code  found this somewhere previously but I can t find the source again - credits to whoever wrote it      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  from google colab import auth auth authenticate user   from oauth2client client import GoogleCredentials creds   GoogleCredentials get application default   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    Click on the first link that comes up which will prompt you to sign in to Google  after that another will appear which will ask for permission to access to your Google Drive   Then  run this which creates a directory named  drive   and links your Google Drive to it    mkdir -p drive  google-drive-ocamlfuse drive   If you do a  ls now  there will be a directory drive  and if you do a  ls drive you can see all the contents of your Google Drive   So for example  if I save my file called abc txt in a folder called ColabNotebooks in my Google Drive  I can now access it via a path drive ColabNotebooks abc txt

The simplest solution I have found so far which works perfectly for small to mid-size CSV files is    Create a secret gist on gist github com and upload  or copy-paste the content of  your file  Click on the Raw view and copy the raw file URL  Use the copied URL as the file address when you call pandas read csv URL    This may or may not work for reading a text file line by line or binary files

step 1- Mount your Google Drive to Collaboratory  from google colab import drive drive mount   content gdrive     step 2- Now you will see your Google Drive files in the left pane  file explorer   Right click on the file that you need to import and select   opy path  Then import as usual in pandas  using this copied path   import pandas as pd df pd read csv  gdrive My Drive data csv     Done

You can mount to google drive by running following from google colab import drive drive mount   content drive    Afterwards For training copy data from gdrive to colab root folder     cp -r   content drive My Drive Project data    content  where first path is gdrive path and second is colab root folder  This way training is faster for large data
