I found it is easier to first mount your Google drive to the non-persistent VM and then use os.chdir() to change your current working folder.

After doing this, you can do the exactly same stuff as in local machine.

I have a gist listing several ways to save and transfer files between Colab VM and Google drive, but I think mounting Google drive is the easiest approach.
