In order to access data, you must first upload the csv.7z file on a drive and give Colab permission to access it. This can be done by,

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

After that, you can access the data in drive.

Example :

If the train.csv.7z is inside a folder called 'train' in Drive, you can access it by running the following

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

After giving access, run the command,

!p7zip -d './gdrive/My Drive/train/train.csv.7z'

Let me know if this works.
