How to mount google drive to R notebook in colab?

Question

I have an R notebook in colab where I want to read a file which is saved in my google drive.

I only seem to find python code such as \"from google.colab import driv

Answer 1

Start using python:

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

Then load the R Magic:

%load_ext rpy2.ipython

and then activate the R Magic and load your data:

%%R
url = ('/content/drive/myDrive/folder1/myfile.csv')
dataset = read.csv(url)
