How to disable autosave in Google Colab?


I have very slow upload speeds and upload also interferes with my download so I need to disable autosave in Colab.


Solution

  • Open the notebook in playground mode using Tools -> Command pallet menu. enter image description here

    Playground mode disables saves. In order to save manually, you'll need to create a copy of the notebook using the menu File -> Save a copy in Drive.
