How do I mount "drive/MyDrive" as root in Colab?

I mount my Google Drive in Colab like this:

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

Now when I want to unzip the file "tommuddi.zip" which resides in the folder "drive/MyDrive/"

I have to access it using "drive/MyDrive/tommuddi.zip" which is cumbersome:

from zipfile import ZipFile
file_name = 'drive/MyDrive/tommuddi.zip'

with ZipFile(file_name, 'r') as zip:
  zip.extractall()
  print('Done')

Instead, I would like to access is using

file_name = 'tommuddi.zip'

How could I make it so that Colab assumes that "MyDrive" is the root so that the above works?

When I try this...

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

... it throws the error

Thank you!

Got it: One has to use cd drive to go to that directory:

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

After doing that, we are in the MyDrive directoy, and we can access its files directly.
