title: Google colab fails to read file: OSError: [Errno 36] File name too long
body: <p>After I successfully uploaded my local files to google colab using</p>
  <pre><code>from google.colab import files
  uploaded = files.upload()
  </code></pre>
  <p>I want to read the files using</p>
  <pre><code>signal_files = open(uploaded['StatsTCSVIXMeanRev_01042021.csv'], 'r')
  df1 = read_csv1(signal_files)
  </code></pre>
  <p>But then it gives me the error: <code>OSError: [Errno 36] File name too long</code> and printed all the csv file entries and considered them as the &quot;file name&quot;. I searched for this error on stackoverflow, but I didn't understand their explanation. Is there an easy way to get my files read on google colab?</p>
