Solved - is there anyway to unzip large files on google drive?

[alakhdar100]

hi fellows, i only have 128GB on hard disk and its already full, i tried to unzip the courses i copy to my google drive to watch them on the cloud, but all the extensions i use couldn't manage to unzip them due to they're large size.
i don't have a way now to access those courses, is there any way guys to unzip those files or overcome my storage limitations?

You can use google colab to unzip file. First you have to move the file from drive to google colab storage from there you can unzip it easily.
Mounting google drive

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

To move files

!mv "filepath" "/content/"

after files are moved empty the google drive bin

to unzip

!unzip file.zip -d destination_folder

Simple Solution: (DO NOT ABUSE IT)

1. Create a Shared Drive. (It will give you almost unlimited space for files)

Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!

2. Go to Colab file and make sure Drive is connected and mounted.

3. Now in Colab file on Top, You have "File Extractor", Just paste the file path in the input field and run the cell..
