Zip / Compress a file that is located on Google Drive

[Scorpion]

I want to compress some folders In Google Drive. Does anyone know the Python or Google Colab method for file compression in Gdrive?

1. Section 1: mount your Google Drive
2. Section 2: install zip and unzip commands

   !apt-get update
   !apt-get install zip
   

3. Section 3:

• zip folder

  !zip -r test.zip /content/My\ Drive/{Your folder}
  

• zip folder with level 9 encryption

  !zip -r -9 test.zip /content/My\ Drive/{Your folder}
  

Remember! Google Collab is running in Linux environment, every files and folders that have spaces must have backslash “\” placed before them.
