Google Colab - can't open any notebooks

Viewed 1225

After successfully using Google Colab on Chrome for a day the error message pasted below started appearing whenever I try to open any google colab notebook (even the tutorial notebook https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/welcome.ipynb).

I have deactivated all ad-blockers, tried to reinstall Chrome and tried incognito-mode. I experience the same issue on Firefox but everything seems fine on Edge.

Thanks for any help.

This might be a good moment to check out alternatives to Google.

Personally, I would install jupyter locally, but I have been using colab as a way for my 1st year university students to avoid having to install anything on their computer, so I was looking for online solutions. I just created accounts on https://www.kaggle.com/ and https://cocalc.com/ which seem to work pretty much as google's colab. I will check if I can install a similar service on my own service so that I do not depend so much on an external service...

try again with a new email id for google collab and check whether the file is corrupted or unsupported format in drive
