[FIXED] Mounted folder in GCP Jupyter Notebook does not show files within the mounted folder

Issue

I am training a model on GCP using a VM instance and I have my folder with 3 directories full of images. I am building a Deep Learning model using this data and am trying to set the path to the directory with the images.

It says the files have been mounted

But when I check the size of the folder it does not match the actual 20GB size as in my GCP Bucket. Also when I try to check the files in the mounted folder the whole notebook just crashes and I have to redo everything again.

Solution

As @Iñigo mentioned I needed to set the service account and the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable.
