title: Colab how to get file id for existing file
body: <p>I am starting with colab for ml and I have problem importing files from my google drive into the notebook. Say I got a file <code>pretrained_vgg19.mat</code> in my drive like <code>drive/jupyter/pretrained_vgg19.mat</code>. The code snippet for importing files from drive says that I need to use the file_ID that looks like <code>laggVyWshwcyP6kEI-y_W3P8D26sz</code>. How do I get this file_ID?</p>
