Providing a tl;dr: Google provides a jupyter / ipython research environment with some amount of integration to their existing services. This environment they call "Colaboratory". They have now started providing free access to GPU resources from within this environment. Details for using with tensorflow here: https://colab.research.google.com/notebook#fileId=/v2/extern...

Some bad headlines are worse the other bad headlines. And this one is fake-promising free candy of a brand I want.
Anybody know how to upload large data files into these environments? Possibly from google drive? I spent some time at it and the example loading techniques all run into download limits or IO fails. Anybody successful at loading large data files?
There are many ways :

1. Upload local files directly (Doesn't work on Firefox)

2. HTTP download

3. Google Drive, Google sheets, Google Cloud Storage..

Take a look at this for more info: https://colab.research.google.com/notebook#fileId=/v2/extern...
