Trying to upload local files using Google Collaboratory this way:

from google.colab import files
uploaded = files.upload()

I get the following error:

Upload widget is only available when the cell has been executed in the current browser session. Please rerun this cell to enable.

I rerun the cell but it doesn't work...
