title: My Google Colab Notebook is not using my 2TB Google Drive space
body: <p>I have 2TB storage space on my Google Drive account.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to use them with Cloud Colab (GPU Python 3).</p>
  
  <p>I've already mounted the Drive space but I'm still stuck with the ~69GB of Colab Storage.</p>
  
  <p>(refer to: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/59513316/9726037">https://stackoverflow.com/a/59513316/9726037</a>)</p>
  
  <p><strong>(1) Mounted the Drive space</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>WORKSPACE_PATH = 'ml/'
  
  drive.mount('/content/drive/', force_remount=True)
  ROOT_DIR  = '/content/drive/My Drive/science'
  BASE_DIR  = os.path.join(ROOT_DIR, WORKSPACE_PATH)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Output: Mounted at /content/drive/</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>(2) Downloaded approx 40GB of data from GCS:</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>bucker_name = 'my_bucket_name'
  !gsutil -m cp gs://{bucket_name}/* 'path_to_my_mounted_drive'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Output:</strong> </p>
  
  <pre><code>Copying gs://xxx/test.h5...

  <p>When I check the colab storage free space : I only have 3GB/69GB, instead of 2 TB...</p>
