@E_Daniel you can check out this notebook for the instructions how to mount your Google Drive locally: [https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/io.ipynb](https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/io.ipynb).

To download data from IDC, you should use `idc-index` package, see this tutorial to get started: [IDC-Tutorials/notebooks/getting\_started/part2\_searching\_basics.ipynb at master · ImagingDataCommons/IDC-Tutorials · GitHub](https://github.com/ImagingDataCommons/IDC-Tutorials/blob/master/notebooks/getting_started/part2_searching_basics.ipynb).

Can you clarify what you mean by “PDAC data”, so I can give you more precise instructions?
