I have a large zip file of 13 GB i need to extract it in gdrive on google colab. I have tried unzip but it didn't work. i tried 7zip it giving error

it seems like one of the file is corrupt that's why it's giving this error. how can i ignore a corrupt file ?or if there is any other way?

Solution

  • You can import zipfile and extract using the following commands. These commands worked for me.

    import zipfile
!unzip My_big_file.zip -d My_extracted_file
