Issue description

While using TensorBoard on Colab, Clicking on the Download PNG option in Graphs gives the “Failed- Forbidden” message. Is there any way to download this .png image?

Screenshot:

Yep, #3714 is the correct dupe; thanks, @rmothukuru.

As to a workaround, you can always download the corresponding event files and view them in local TensorBoard:

“How to download file created in Colaboratory workspace?”

…and once you have them in local TensorBoard you can download the graph image as normal. But I’m not aware of any workaround within Colab itself right now.

@AjinkyaChavan9, Thank you for the reproducible code. This issue is already being tracked in #3714. Can you please confirm if we can close this issue because this issue is a duplicate of #3714. Thanks!
