Unziping zipped file in google colab

Question

i ma trying to unzip a zip file in google colab and i get this Error

Archive: object_detection.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of object_detection.zip or object_detection.zip.zip, and cannot find object_detection.zip.ZIP, period.

from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')
!cp '/content/drive/My Drive/slim.zip' slim.zip
!unzip object_detection.zip

i already uploded my zip files on the drive

Answer 1

I had the same problem and it was because I had not uploaded the file completely

Answer 2

Probable reason could be your zip file is corrupt.. may be you are not using proper link.. try downloading the file and then uploading on colab.. it should work.
