Create a file download link to a dynamically generated file in Google Colab jupyter notebooks












0















How do you get FileLink(filename) to work in Google Colab in order to generate a download link? Is there a better way than FileLink?



Right now this code generates a download link pointing to localhost:



import pandas as pd
from IPython.display import FileLink, FileLinks

df = pd.DataFrame([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]])
df.to_csv('mydf.csv', index=False)
FileLink('mydf.csv')


The link generated as output points to: https://localhost:8080/myfile.csv



How do I get it to point to the correct file?

          Try:



          from google.colab imports files
          files.download('mydf.csv')


          Or, more simply, use the file browser in the left hand pane.
