2019 November 12thImport your own custom modules in Google Colabgoogle colab, tools, data science

Google Colab is great. But you do have to wrap your head around how it handles "local files".

# first mount your gdrive
from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/gdrive')

# next, add the location of the file to the path:
import sys
sys.path.append('/content/drive/My Drive')

# you can then import as usual
from module_name import some_class_or_function
