To access your Google Drive files in Colab. You first need to mount it in your notebook.

Here’s how to do that:

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

After this you would be asked for authorisation and provided with a token, copy and paste that token back to mount your notebook at /content/drive/ My Drive.

From this point onward you can use cd and ls to explore your drive and go where the data is.
