## Transfer data 11\. 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, 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. details see: 12\. You can then select the files you want to transfer. And click the 'Start' button below. 13\. You should see "Transfer request submitted successfully" and an id for the transfer. **Note if you are using Globus Connect Personal for a transfer to/from your machine, Globus personal will need to stay running on your machine for the transfer to complete.** ### 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. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.ccv.brown.edu/storage-and-transfer/globus/creating-endpoints/using-globus-with-oscar.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. 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.
