colab : Google Cloud Platform

Adding CSV or Excel files to your code.

1. Upload your CSV or Excel file to any folder in google drive. We created one folder inside our Colab Notbooks folder and named it as downloads. You can give your own name to the folders.
2. Now you have to mount the drive to your colab file. Run this code.

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

You will be shown one link and below it there will be an text bos asking for authorization code. Visit the link and collect ( copy ) your authorization code. You must be already logged in to your gmail account to get the code.
Paste the code inside textbox and then press enter.
Now your drive is mounted.
3. 
   
   In your left panel you can see drive icon. Expand the directory structure to reach and select your file you want to use. Right click and use copy path.
   Now use this path to create a variable to use in our read_excel() or read_csv() functions.

   import pandas as pd
   path='/content/drive/My Drive/Colab Notebooks/downloads/my_file.xlsx'
   my_data = pd.read_excel(path)
