Import data from shared Google drive into Google Colaboratory












1















How can I view files that exist in a shared folder on Google Drive? I have tried:



from google.colab import drive
drive.mount("/content/gdrive")
os.listdir("/content/gdrive/My Drive/")


but I cannot see the folder that was shared with me. The folder was created by another person and I have edit abilities on the folder but am not the owner. In Google Drive the folder does not appear under the "My Drive" section but instead is under the "Shared with me" section. Is it still possible to access the contents in Colab?
