Write out file with google colab

问题

Was there a way to write out files with google colab? For example, if I use

import requests
r = requests.get(url)

Where will those files be stored? Can they be found? And similarly, can I get the file I outputted via say tensorflow save function

saver=tf.Saver(....)
...
path = saver.save(sess, "./my_model.ckpt")

Thanks!

In your first example, the data is still in r.content. So you also need to save them first with open('data.dat', 'wb').write(r.content)

Then you can download them with files.download

from google.colab import files
files.download('data.dat')

Downloading your model is the same:

files.download('my_model.ckpt')

I found it is easier to first mount your Google drive to the non-persistent VM and then use os.chdir() to change your current working folder.

After doing this, you can do the exactly same stuff as in local machine.

I have a gist listing several ways to save and transfer files between Colab VM and Google drive, but I think mounting Google drive is the easiest approach.

For more details, please refer to mount_your_google_drive.md in this gist https://gist.github.com/Joshua1989/dc7e60aa487430ea704a8cb3f2c5d6a6
