I’d give [https://nextjournal.com/](https://nextjournal.com/) a chance.  
It has first class Julia support, you can upload files and run them, free GPUs, you can work with multiple people in the same notebook and you get very responsive support!  
Also, if you care for it, it’s all about reproducible publishing, which is a great bonus 😉

For those interested in Julia on Colab, perhaps do let the Colab team know here:
