Is there a way to get the ID of a Google Drive folder from the path using Colab?

Question

Let's say I have a folder on GDrive with the path /content/drive/MyDrive/MyFolder. I know I can access the contents of the folder from Google Colab after mounting Drive. But is it also possible to access the ID/URL of this folder using Colab, and if so, how?

Answer 1

You can use kora to get ID from a file path.

!pip install kora
from kora.xattr import get_id
fid = get_id('/content/drive/MyDrive/Colab Notebooks')
