If you don’t have one, please contact your local ITSC support or ** to request access to an existing folder or create a new one. [More Info](https://ccv.brown.edu/services/file-storage-and-transfer). * All users should have *uidnumber* and *gidnumber* associated with their *shortid* in Brown AD. Without *uidnumber* and *gidnumber*, Globus will not be able to authenticate to the storage. {% endhint %} If the main purpose for using Globus is to share/provide access with/to other users to do data transfers, then you need to create a **Globus Guest Collection.** If the purpose is to browse the folder or do data transfers personally, creating a **bookmark** would suffice. ## Creating a Globus Guest Collection **Creating a Globus Guest Collection**: Once you search and browse to the appropriate collection/folder, please click the three dots as shown in Fig-10.

Then click on "Collections" tab and then click on "Add Guest Collection" as shown in Fig-

You can transfer to any other Globus Collection that you have permission to. Once you are in your collection, to select either source/target collection, you can either click on "Transfer or Sync to" in the right menu or click the 'Dual Pane' in the Panels menu in the top right corner of the 'File Manager' window. Now you can search for the secondary collection that you want to transfer data to/from. If you want to use Globus Online to move data to/from your own machine, you can install Globus Connect Personal. Installing Globus Connect Personal allows you to create an endpoint on your computer that you can use to transfer data to and from your computer. For installation, please visit: 12\. You can then select the files you want to transfer. And click the 'Start' button. 13\. You should see "Transfer request submitted successfully" and an id for the transfer. Click "View Details" to see transfer progress. if you have started a transfer between two remote machines you don't have to keep your computer connect to Globus\*\*. When the transfer is complete you will receive an email. {% hint style="info" %} **\*\*If you are using Globus Connect Personal for a transfer to/from your machine, Globus personal needs to stay running on your machine for the transfer to complete.** {% endhint %} ### Tips for Transferring Data between Globus and Google Drive For Google Drive, there are "rate 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. ### [Troubleshooting Globus](/storage-and-transfer/globus/support/troubleshooting.md) ### Globus links * If you need more information on How Globus works, please refer to [HowTo Videos located here](https://docs.globus.org/how-to/instructional-videos/). * Check out [the Globus docs page](https://docs.globus.org/how-to/) for more info. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.ccv.brown.edu/storage-and-transfer/globus/creating-endpoints/files.brown.edu-1.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
