Create a new director in google drive from colab

To create a new directory in Google Drive from Google Colab, you can use the following steps:

  1. First, make sure you have the google.colab library installed in your Colab environment. If you don't have it installed, you can install it by running the following command:

    !pip install google-colab
  2. Next, import the google.colab library and authenticate with your Google account:

    from google.colab import auth
    auth.authenticate_user()
  3. Once you're authenticated, you can use the drive module to interact with your Google Drive account. Create a new directory by running the following command:

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

    This will mount your Google Drive account to the /content/drive directory in your Colab environment.

  4. Now, you can create a new directory in your Google Drive account by running the following command:

    import os
    os.mkdir('/content/drive/My Drive/new_directory')

    Replace new_directory with the name you want to give to your new directory.

  5. To verify that the directory has been created, you can run the following command:

    !ls /content/drive/My Drive/new_directory

    This should list the contents of your new directory.

That's it! You should now have a new directory in your Google Drive account that you can access from your Colab environment.

Here's the complete code:

!pip install google-colab
from google.colab import auth
auth.authenticate_user()
from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')
import os
os.mkdir('/content/drive/My Drive/new_directory')
!ls /content/drive/My Drive/new_directory

Note: Make sure you have the necessary permissions to create directories in your Google Drive account. If you're using a shared drive, you may need to have the necessary permissions to create directories in that drive.
