googlecolabPersisting Data in Google Colab: Drive Mounting as the Right Design Choice
Colab VMs are ephemeral; local /content is wiped on disconnect. drive.mount() maps Google Drive to /content/drive for persistent storage. This architecture note covers requirements, trust boundaries, operational checks, failure modes, and when to change design.
