Question

Answer 1

If you want to change directory from google colab into google drive, connect to google drive first.

from google.colab import drive 
drive.mount('/content/drive')

It will ask for authentication key that will be can be obtained when signing in to your google drive

Change to the google drive directory.

%cd /content/drive/My\ Drive/

For verifying: !pwd

Your current directory is /content/drive/My Drive/
