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

# open existing text file
with open('/content/drive/My Drive/Sandbox/Sandbox.txt’) as f:
  print(f.read())

# make new JSON file
with open('/content/drive/My Drive/Sandbox/Sandbox_2.json', 'w') as f:
  f.write('{"hello":true}')

From here.

Downloading it to your local drive, reference here

from google.colab import files
import json

x = json.dumps ('test')
y = x.encode('utf-8')
with open('example.txt', 'w') as f:
  f.write(str(y))

files.download('example.txt')

Alternatively, I as previously mentioned in the comment, you can mount your Google drive using the script provided or simply click the mount drive then run the cell provided. After mounting, you can now write to it like a local drive, fyr.

As suggested by Christopher, you can take help of this. The link will help you to eventually mount Google Colab as a local drive. Once this is done, you can easily read-write the file from/to Google Colab. In my opinion, it's worth trying and it should work. Note : I've not tried and tested this solution.
