can i save colab project on google drive and upload and start later?

I use colab.research.google.com for my research in university, but unfortunately it erasing all my files daily.

Yesterday I spent all day for coding, compiling and now I lost all my results...

I want to get some stuff for get the changes from co-laboratory machine (make dump of all file info before work and after work, then download the changes) then, when I need ma project again - I just want to upload the changes to co-laboratory and then start my project

VMs are indeed ephemeral. A typical pattern is to store persistent files in Google Drive by mounting your Drive filesystem.

from google.colab import drive
drive.mount('/content/drive')

Then, files that you save to /content/drive will persist in Drive, and you can access Drive files on that path as well.
