I load some (not so) big data into it. A compressed file at 9GB. It can't decompress because the disk space is not enough.

What's the current hardware spec? What's the disk size?

You can see the disk information using a command like !df -h. To see CPU specs, !cat /proc/cpuinfo. For memory, !cat /proc/meminfo.

Here's an example notebook: https://colab.research.google.com/notebook#fileId=1_x67fw9y5aBW72a8aGePFLlkPvKLpnBl

Edit: Colab now offers a Pro version which offers double the amount of disk available in the free version.
