I just uploaded gigabytes of photos to google drive using Google Backup and Sync(https://www.google.com/intl/en_as/drive/download/backup-and-sync/). But I cannot reach those file from Google Colab since it can only display files in "My Drive" but not /drive/Computer/MY Mac Book Pro/Files/... And I can not move those files to "My Drive", it saids server error. I am using free spaces account from G-suit.
I was having a similliar issue.. I dont know if this is what made it work for me, but try closing the back up and sync program

Is there plugin or embeded code patch that I can use to give website visitors the ability to upload a file from Google Drive? The use case is a jobs website. We'd like people to upload their resumes but most users on mobile devices don't have resume file stored on their phone. So, we'd like to give them the option of uploaded a saved resume from Google Drive.
I have not found a solution yet.
I need to understand whether there is a way to incremental upload to Google Colaboratory.
I was trying to upload a huge number of image files to Google Colaboratory when my Internet connection failed and I had to start again. I observed that the images, which were already uploaded, where now getting duplicated.
Is there any way that only missed files get uploaded? This will save time and space.
I suggest you not to upload them just in Colab, because there is no solution to this problem, you just need to re-select manually the files not uploaded yet. I suggest you to use the google.colab package to manage these problems in Colab. Just upload everything you need to your google drive, then import:
from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/gdrive')
In this way, you just need to login to your google account through google authentication API, and you can use files/folders as if they were uploaded on Colab. In this way, you can manage connection errors, since you're uploading them to google drive, and you can choose between overwriting existing files or just skip them.
We are sharing a google drive folder where we put the colab notebooks. Now we need to upload some text files permanently for notebook usage. I do not want to upload files every time I open colab. From what I searched, I had to upload files to google drive and mount it to colab in some way.
So, when I mount google drive to colab, can my teammates access all my files in it, or simply the shared folder.If not, is there a way to share only a folder or a file of google drive in colab.
If you share a folder with your teammates in Google Drive then that folder will appear in each of their drive mounts in colab. Each person running code in a notebook (even if they share a notebook) gets their own VM. One person should never see another person's Drive mount.
An alternative to sharing a data-file folder in Drive is to upload your data to GCS and have your notebook fetch it from there (example).
I have a folder in my server which contains daily backup of database and uploads. When I'm uploading this folder, it shows maximum execution problem due to large size of that folder. So I want to share that folder to google drive. Is there any way to share folder?
Based from this forum, it's not possible to sync Google Drive with folders outside of the original Drive folder.
Found this link - I need to sync files and folders outside "Google Drive" folder. which might help.
You can choose any folder during the Google Drive install.
Firstly select "Advanced Setup" on the second page of the Getting
Started screen.
Then click the "Change" button next to Folder Location
Select any folder you want, including network shares and mapped network drives.

I am testing a Google Chrome notebook. Whenever I download a file it goes to a folder called "File shelf" which is somehow connected to my Gmail account. Is it possible to access this folder on a "normal" system running any browser? I did not find how to do it yet. In general, is there a description on how to manage this folder: delete, copy to external storage (USB), etc?
The 'File shelf' is not connected to your Gmail. It's a place on the SSD. If you click 'Ctrl-M' you will get a folder with all the files on your local SSD.
Once you are in the folder - right click will give you the options to delete/rename each file.
If you want wish to do more with this new File API - here is a post I've wrote on it.
Good luck.
