[PYTHON] Download files directly to Google Drive (using Google Colaboratory)

Background / Usage

Even when your line is weak due to the use of a mobile router, such as trained models and videos of machine learning with a large file size, and a large number of image files, you can download without using your own line. It seems that google originally prepared an extension, but I decided to write it because it will be abolished.

From the conclusion. Sample code

from google.colab import drive 
drive.mount('/content/drive')
!wget -P "/content/drive/My Drive/download" https://xxxxx.xxx

Google Colaboratory is extremely convenient. Thank you, google.
