How to read and write file (like txt or json) with Colab and Google Drive

[jasonhargrove]

How to read and write file (like txt or json) to Google Drive. This issue is for documentation purposes (Google struggles to answer this and took some trial and error).

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

# open existing text file
with open('/content/drive/My Drive/Sandbox/Sandbox.txt’) as f:
  print(f.read())

# make new JSON file
with open('/content/drive/My Drive/Sandbox/Sandbox_2.json', 'w') as f:
  f.write('{"hello":true}')
