Limited Space & Time: The Google Colab platform stores files in Google Drive with a free space of 15GB; however, working on bigger datasets requires more space, making it difficult to execute.
No, it won't consume (much) of your data. Google Colab runs on Google Cloud. If it downloand some data, it travel to Google Cloud, not to your computer. Only the text you type, the output text, and some images travel to your computer.
I think yes, Google Colab's speed is affected by our Internet connection.
As far as I know and I found in the online articles Colab doesn't support running without an internet connection.
Yes I have the same issue. It normally works fine but, there is sudden spike in the internet data. Check this. In the process it wasted 700 Mb in just 20 minutes, and I have mobile internet, so this creates a problem sometimes. Didn't find the answer but it seems like there is some kind of synchronization going on between the browser and the colab platform.
One thing you could do is to open the notebook in Playground mode as shown in this link How to remove the autosave option in Colab. This only happens because of the fact that Colab is saving everytime and there is a constant spike in the network. It becomes difficult when you use only mobile data. So, it is a safe option to open the notebook in Playground mode, so that the synchronization doesn't continue as usual.
