get_file() is used for loading files from a URL,hence it can not load local files. If you have mounted you gdrive and can access you files stored in drive through colab, you can access the files using the path '/gdrive/My Drive/your_file'. for eg:

base_dir ='/gdrive/My Drive/weld_data'   

train_generator = datagen.flow_from_directory(
base_dir,
target_size=(IMAGE_SIZE, IMAGE_SIZE),
batch_size=BATCH_SIZE, 
subset='training')

If you need to unzip the file, you can use import zipfile with zipfile.ZipFile(your_file, 'r') as zip_ref: zip_ref.extractall(directory_to_extract_to)

I used '/content' as the directory_to_extract_to.

Then you can access the data the usual way.

base_dir = '/content/my_folder'    

train_generator = datagen.flow_from_directory(
base_dir,
target_size=(IMAGE_SIZE, IMAGE_SIZE),
batch_size=BATCH_SIZE, 
subset='training')
