How to mount GCP Bucket in Google Colab

Question

I want to access the files in my GCP bucket from Colab. I followed these instructions

As you can see from the screen shots, there is nothing in the folder after mounting. What am I missing? The Data folder in my bucket is full of data.

try prefixing `gs://` to your bucket name – Frederik Bode May 04 '20 at 20:20 — Frederik Bode, May 04 '20 at 20:20

Turns out you can't mount the bucket name + a path within the bucket. Removing the /Data/ after the name of the bucket led to a successful mount. So since my bucket name is hellonearth, the command is just:

!gcsfuse --implicit-dirs hellonearth myfolder

You are using the commands in a wrong way

after !apt -qq install gcsfuse

run:

!mkdir folderOnColab
!gcsfuse gs://folderOnBucket folderOnColab

Then runt !ls instead of just ls
