i am trying to train my model with custom dataset on Google Colab. I uploaded my folders, weights etc. When I close Colab my folders are removed? what is the problem?

CodePudding user response：

Colab doesn't save data between sessions. You can either manually download and re-upload the necessary folders/weights for each session, or try to automate the process with Google Drive. Be aware that there are usage limits that are not well published - to do any real work, you'll need a paid hosted notebook platform like Google Vertex.

Colaboratory: Can I access to my Google drive folder and file?

CodePudding user response：

Colab clear all your temporary files when you close session. Try to save important files to google drive or your laptop.

For using google drive try this:

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