Good day, friends.

I'm trying to load my own file to Google Colab from my own disc, and I use the code with image.load_img. But programm thinks that there is no such a file. I see this file and not agree with Google. )

Could you please make an advice how can I make code to work correctly. Please tell me if I made any mistake. And what is the right way to type path when file is on PC and file is in Colab folder

Thank you very much.

Code is:

from tensorflow.keras import utils
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing import image
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import pylab
from google.colab import files
from PIL import Image

path = 'C:\XYZ\pic7.jpg'

x = image.load_img(path, target_size = (800, 600), color_mode = 'grayscale')

Colab says:

...

FileNotFoundError                         Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-43-a3755b9d97b5> in <module>()
      9 path = 'C:\XYZ\pic7.jpg'
      10 
 ---> 11 x = image.load_img(path, target_size = (800, 600), color_mode = 'grayscale')

     114         img = pil_image.open(io.BytesIO(f.read()))
     115         if color_mode == 'grayscale':

1. Google Colab runs on a remote server, not your local machine, so it has no access to "C:\" or any of your local drives.

2. See the examples for how to work with external data in Colab, including mounting Google Drive - so you'll need to put your images there first.

For those who are interested in decision.

1. I mounted my Google drive, as dicribed at https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/io.ipynb#scrollTo=u22w3BFiOveA (Aneroid adviced this link),
2. Changed path to '/content/drive/MyDrive/myfolder/pic7.jpg'.

Anf after that programm stoped to critisize my path. And error changed. It's Success for me. )

Best wishes to Aneroid.
