Maybe, you have too many files on the root directory of Google Drive or in the dataset folder.
If you have too many files and folders in root directory, then you should clean up and sort it in less folders.
If you have many files in dataset folder, then try the following solutions:
Make a compressed file of your dataset folder and save it to drive. Then while running copy that compressed file (will take less than a minute for 690Mb) and extract it in Colab.
Upload your dataset to any other platform (say OneDrive, Mega, etc.), get the link, and download on Colab using that link.
