Question

I need to access the data stored on google drive in .zip format into the google collaboratory. As to train the model every time I need to upload the data with big size.is there any other efficient way to directly access the data without uploading every time?

Answer 1

A minimal way to extract zip file from google drive

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

Open the link in a new tab-> you will get a code - copy that back into the prompt you now have access to google drive check:

!unzip "/content/gdrive/My Drive/file_name.zip"
