How to change working directory in file-explorer UI in Google Colab?
Google Colab has a file-explorer UI pane on the left side.
How do I change the file-explorer on the left to simply "go down" into a folder?!?!?!?!?!?!
Or, how do I change the working directory in the file-explorer UI in Google Colab?
I can't find any relevant buttons or menu options. Nothing happens when I run the console command !cd /content.
I've tried these 2 answers, to no avail. When I run %cd /content, the working directory of the console changes, but not the file explorer.
For example, suppose I accidentally click this button...
Now, my working directory is severely bloated, and it's not at all obvious that my previous directory is /content/.
How do I change it back?
Solution
I couldn't find a way to do it in UI other then refresh but below worked.
