title: Loading local data google colab
body: <p>I have a npy file, (largeFIle.npy) saved in the same "colab notebooks" folder on my google drive that I have my google colab notebook saved in.  I'm trying to load the data into my notebook with the code below but I'm getting the error below.  This code works fine when I run it locally on my laptop with the notebook in the same folder as the file.  Is there something different I need to do when loading data with notebooks in google colab?  I'm very new to colab.</p>

  dataset_name = 'largeFIle.npy'
  
  dataset = np.load(dataset_name, encoding='bytes')
