How to resolve: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google.colab'

Question

I want to run the command:

from google.colab import auth

But I am getting this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google.colab'

This is required for accessing files on google drive from python. There is a package google but not module colab in it. How to resolve this error?

Answer 1

You can simply download google-colab and use it in local.

pip install google-colab

Answer 2

AFAIK, you can execute the module 'google.colab' from within the notebook environment of colab.research.google.com (it is not a publicly available package)

OFF-TOPIC: Looking at the tag conda in your question. I assume that you are running the code from your local machine. Please make use of PyDrive to read from google drive on your local machine.
