2\. Create [an endpoint for Oscar](https://docs.ccv.brown.edu/globus/creating-endpoints/using-globus-with-oscar). If you already have one, you may skip this step.

3\. [Transfer data between the two endpoints](https://docs.ccv.brown.edu/globus/manipulating-endpoints/transfer-data-between-endpoints).

## Tips for Transferring Data to Google Drive

For Google Drive, there are "rates limits" on how much data and how many files a user can transfer in any 24 hour period. The following two tips can help to alleviate the restrictions from the rates limits:

* Transfer a subfolder as a job. A user can submit 2-3 jobs at a time.
* If the folder or subfolder contains a lot of small files, compress the folder or subfolders using zip or tar before the transfer.
