'Save failed in Google Colab
I opened a number of tabs at the same time. I think that's why Google Colab was not able to support the heavy load. The message stated:
Save failed
This file could not be saved. Please use the File menu to download the .ipynb and upload the notebook to make a copy that includes your recent changes.
Is downloading the file and uploading again the only solution?
Solution 1:[1]
It turned out to be a network issue. Output is heavy and colab is not able to save it is not able to make a handshake because internet speed is poor. So just switch the internet source and see it working.
Solution 2:[2]
I had the same problem despite ''Runtime > Change runtime type' being already set 'None' beforehand. As the OP I had no other instances of the notebook open.
In the end I did 3 things in the following order:
- File > Save a copy in Drive
- File > Save a copy in GitHub
- File > Save
Just picking the 'Save' from the drop down again did the trick for me. My variables were still loaded all is working as before.
Solution 3:[3]
I deleted (heavy) outputs and it worked out, it started saving without fail notifications
Solution 4:[4]
I got the same issue and eventually I found it's because I set up the hardware accelerator.
This would be fixed if reseting the 'Runtime/Change runtime type' to 'None'.
