The google.colab libraries only exist on managed backends.
When running on your local machine, you'll want to instead use Drive's existing sync apps available here: https://www.google.com/drive/download/
I am running Google Colab with a local runtime. I use this command to start Jupyter:
jupyter notebook --NotebookApp.allow_origin='https://colab.research.google.com' --port=8888 --NotebookApp.port_retries=0
When I previously connected I was able to mount Google Drive with this code in the notebook:
from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')
I was able to connect to Google Drive and access files while on local runtime. However, now I am getting this error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'google.colab'
I see other people have this problem, and some suggest using PyDrive. But I am certain I was connected to Google Drive without using PyDrive.
I suspect the first command I ran to start Jupyter was different when Google Drive was able to connect. Is there a specific flag I have to add to that first command
