Answer 1

If you pay for extra storage in google drive, you can mount drive into /content/drive/ folder

as Follows

from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')
> Then it will ask you for auth code

You can even use it for unziping datasets (My scenario was that I had enough space on Colab to download 18G of Coco Dataset but not enough space to unzip it)

!unzip /content/train2017.zip -d /content/drive/My\ Drive/COCO/train_2017
