Google Colab

Go to the main page of Google Colab, then upload your local .ipynb file. This will create a copy of the notebook in your Google Drive and the file is opened by Google Colab by default. Successfully recognized file will show an icon before file names.

If you directly upload to Google Drive, you need to right-click on the file, then choose “Open with” > “Google Colaboratory”. This creates issues when you share the file with others. They will see a bunch of json code until they choose to “Open with” > “Google Colaboratory”.
