Google colab file upload/download

colab_download.py

files.download('example.txt')  # from colab to browser download

colab_upload.py

from google.colab import files

uploaded = files.upload() # then browse, select the files. It's then uploaded

# uploaded is now a dict containing "filename" -> Content

Would this work in Jupyter notebook?
