title: Google Drive in Colaboratory is not mounted. TimeOut
body: <p>since several days, i can not connect to google drive in google colaboratory.</p>
  <p>here is the code, that before always worked:</p>
  <pre><code>from google.colab import drive
  drive.mount('/content/gdrive/')
  </code></pre>
  <p>I tried the following, after reading several blogs for a solution:</p>
  <p>-&gt; I only have two items in my first folder of google drive</p>
  <p>-&gt; My trash folder is empty</p>
  <p>-&gt; I reset all the sessions</p>
  <p>-&gt; I create new file for testing just the piece of code above.</p>
  <p>-&gt; I restarted my computer and my browser Chrome</p>
  <p>-&gt; I tried &quot;drive.mount('/content/gdrive')&quot; , drive.mount('/content/gdrive/'), drive.mount('/content/'), drive.mount('/content'), drive.mount('/content/gdrive/My Drive')</p>
  <p>Any idea?
  Thanks a lot!</p>
  <p>here is the error:</p>
