title: Resuing a zip file from google colab
body: <p>I am trying to train a CNN on Google Colab. I have a files of 50,000 images. From googling around I found the best way to use them is to zip the files and then unzip them in the notebook. This has been pretty tedious because it takes a while to unzip the folder and every time I want run a new model I have to re unzip the folder and it takes a ton of time. Is there anyway to speed this up??</p>
  
  <pre><code>from google.colab import drive
  drive.mount('/content/drive')
  !unzip -uq "/zip folder on drive" -d "/new location folder"
  </code></pre>
