Load local data files to Colaboratory

Question

I just wondering that is it possible to load local data files(like .xlsx or .csv files that on my google drive) into Colaboratory?

Answer 1

Yes, all of these scenarios are supported.

For recipes to access local and Drive files, check out the I/O example notebook.

For access to xls files, you'll want to upload the file to Google Sheets. Then, you can use the gspread recipes in the same I/O example notebook.

A recently added way to upload local files is to use the 'Files' tab in the right hand side drawer.

From there, you can upload a local file using the 'upload' button.

(You can also download files by right clicking on them in the file tree.)
