add it to your drive. Now its showing add shortcut to drive option instead of copy to drive. go to google colab In the file manager at the left side bar, see for your file that you added shortcut and copy the path. Now copy it to your own drive or even shared drive using the commands. > !cp -av ‘src\_path’ ‘dest\_path’ ---

Did u copied the path from the file manager in the sidebar? _(Right click on the desired folder - you will get the options which includes copy path)_ It must be something like > /content/drive/Shared drives/xxxxx ---
