I have mounted my google drive to colab. I can see the documents i need in the files panel. I would like to open the .ipynb files listed in the drive, so i can view and run them in colab. This seems like a very trivial thing, but i can't see an easy way of just opening them directly. If i double click it downloads the notebook. Is there an easy way of just opening the file directly from this list?

Thanks in advance for any help image of the google drive list of files here

The file browser in your screenshot will show the raw notebook JSON.

In order to open the notebooks, use the browser at http://drive.google.com/ and navigate to your Colab notebooks folder.

Or, you can click this link to show all of your Colab notebooks in Drive --

https://drive.google.com/drive/search?q=owner:me%20(type:application/vnd.google.colaboratory%20||%20type:application/vnd.google.colab)

  • Thanks very much for your reply! I have found a better way for my particular case - i just access the .ipynb directly from GitHub rather than using google drive at all. But i can see now this is the best way to do it via Drive - so thanks again. – Ellie Nov 13 '19 at 16:57
