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

To get data from your system to colab try this:

from google.colab import files
uploaded = files.upload()

Choose the file you want to upload and hit enter and its done. For example, I have uploaded an image and displayed it using the code below:

import cv2
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

img = cv2.imread('image.jpg')
img_cvt = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)

plt.imshow(img_cvt)
plt.show()
