Hi, i am trying drive mount on google colab and this happened as showned below: I have used google colab before with no problem. Please assist.

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

Enter your authorization code:

I am experiencing the same issue.

[craigcitro]

The copy button is broken on the oauth page; manually select and copy the code and you'll be good to go.

Duplicate of #1540.

[kaiyungtan]

thanks. it works. indeed the copy button is broken. Thanks Craig.

[jerronl]

I got the same problem today. It didn't bring up the link to the auth page but failed with the same error msg.

[jonathanraditya]

Same here, 12hrs ago works just fine, and now failed with "ValueError: mount failed: invalid oauth code" error message.

[vicchen-qf]

Same here too! Can only mount the google drive account the colab notebook itself with "drive.mount('/content/drive')"

[kdassharma]

Using:

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

gives me (after singing in using the popup):

/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/google/colab/_message.py in read_reply_from_input(message_id, timeout_sec)
    104         reply.get('colab_msg_id') == message_id):
    105       if 'error' in reply:
--> 106         raise MessageError(reply['error'])
    107       return reply.get('data', None)
    108 

MessageError: Error: credential propagation was unsuccessful

and using:

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

gives me:

/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/google/colab/drive.py in _mount(mountpoint, force_remount, timeout_ms, use_metadata_server, ephemeral)
    294       wrote_to_fifo = True
    295     elif case == 5 and not use_metadata_server:
--> 296       raise ValueError('mount failed: invalid oauth code')
    297     elif case == 6:
    298       # Terminate the DriveFS binary before killing bash.

ValueError: mount failed: invalid oauth code

A temporary solution is to mount the drive with the button on the "Files" menu option, this worked for me.

[researchk]

but I want to mount from my other google account that's why it's not working for me.

[DinalieLiyanage]

Facing the same issue and I want to mount from another drive as well

#2399 (comment)

@zechenli03 has mentioned a solution there, which is the old method. But yet it works

@researchk you can use this

[abhilashmandal]

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

This code started working again

[researchk]

@DinalieLiyanage not working for me.

[mustafahasankhan]

Use this button

then mount

[wizmain]

Use this button

It happens only when you don't give all the permissions to google colab when it asks for the permission to access your google drive after running this command

[noha-El-Haddad]

We have the same problem ! it did work 2 days ago , is the problem global!

[gauravgund]

The following code worked for me:

!apt-get install -y -qq software-properties-common python-software-properties module-init-tools
!add-apt-repository -y ppa:alessandro-strada/ppa 2>&1 > /dev/null
!apt-get update -qq 2>&1 > /dev/null
!apt-get -y install -qq google-drive-ocamlfuse fuse
from google.colab import auth
auth.authenticate_user()
from oauth2client.client import GoogleCredentials
creds = GoogleCredentials.get_application_default()
import getpass
!google-drive-ocamlfuse -headless -id={creds.client_id} -secret={creds.client_secret} < /dev/null 2>&1 | grep URL
vcode = getpass.getpass()
!echo {vcode} | google-drive-ocamlfuse -headless -id={creds.client_id} -secret={creds.client_secret}
%cd /content
!mkdir drive
%cd drive
!mkdir MyDrive
%cd ..
%cd ..
!google-drive-ocamlfuse /content/drive/MyDrive
