I mounted google drive by clicking on the mount drive button. It’s one of the button near the top when you browse the files. It will give a code snippet that you can run in your notebook. When I untar a file, I picked a destination on my google drive. Here’s an example.
from google.colab import drive
drive.mount(’/content/drive’)
path = untar_data(URLs.MNIST_SAMPLE, dest=‘drive/My Drive’)
I felt it ran a lot slower going back and forth from google drive to the server for some operations.
