I've just installed a dual boot of ubuntu on my XPS15. I want to use this as a development environment for python as I've had many issues using windows and I was told that this was the best solution.
I can't seem to access Google Drive (where all my learning notebooks are stored) in Jupyter on Ubuntu like I could on windows. Does any know how to do this?
The jupyter-drive project is no longer supported due to the deprecation of the Google Realtime API.
You might instead consider jupyterlab/jupyterlab-google-drive; which adds a Google Drive file browser to the left sidebar of JupyterLab.
This repository contains custom Contents classes that allows IPython to use Google Drive for file management. The code is organized as a python package that contains functions to install a Jupyter Notebook JavaScript extension, and activate/deactivate different IPython profiles to be used with Google drive.
To install this package, run:
git clone git://github.com/jupyter/jupyter-drive.git pip3 install -e jupyter-driveThis will install the package in editable mode with pip, which means that any change you make to the repository will be reflected into the importable version immediately.
To install the notebook extension and activate your configuration with Google Drive, run:
python3 -m jupyterdriveTo deactivate, run:
python3 -m jupyterdrive --deactivateFirst launch
Launch IPython with the profile in which you activated jupyter-drive:
ipython notebook --profile <profilename>On first launch, the application will ask you for the authorization to access your files on Google Drive. It only asks for permission to create new files or to access files it has created or that you manually open with this application. It also requires permission to access file/directory metadata, in order to display the list of files/directories in the tree view.
The request pop-up looks like the following:
Clicking OK will open a Google OAuth pop-up. You will see that the Jupyter Drive application wants access to some information about your files. Keep that in mind if you want to revoke access at a later point.
Once you click Accept you should be able to start creating new notebooks on Google Drive, and open existing ones created by this application, and view files/directories in the tree view.
