# Sample Use Cases

## Transfer between files22.brown.edu and Oscar

1\. Create [an endpoint for files22.brown.edu/Research](/storage-and-transfer/globus/creating-endpoints/files.brown.edu.md). If you already have one, you may skip this step.

2\. Create [an endpoint for Oscar](/storage-and-transfer/globus/creating-endpoints/using-globus-with-oscar.md). If you already have one, you may skip this step.

3\. [Transfer data between the two endpoints](/storage-and-transfer/globus/manipulating-endpoints/transfer-data-between-endpoints.md).

## Transfer between files.brown.edu and Oscar

1\. Create [an endpoint for files.brown.edu/Research](broken://pages/-M4Ef0bs6Hbc-o6ylB5Q), or [an endpoint for lrs.brown.edu](broken://pages/-M9Umh62EigOmSnDs450). If you already have one, you may skip this step.

2\. Create [an endpoint for Oscar](/storage-and-transfer/globus/creating-endpoints/using-globus-with-oscar.md). If you already have one, you may skip this step.

3\. [Transfer data between the two endpoints](/storage-and-transfer/globus/manipulating-endpoints/transfer-data-between-endpoints.md).

## Transfer between files.brown.edu/Research and Brown Personal Google Drive

1\. Create an [endpoint for files.brown.edu/Research](broken://pages/-M4Ef0bs6Hbc-o6ylB5Q). If you already have one to use, skip this step.

2\. Create an [endpoint for your Brown personal Google drive](/storage-and-transfer/globus/creating-endpoints/creation-of-globus-endpoint-for-brown-google-drive.md). If you already have one to use, skip this step.

3\. [Transfer data between the two endpoints](/storage-and-transfer/globus/manipulating-endpoints/transfer-data-between-endpoints.md).

## Transfer between lrs.brown.edu/Research and Brown Personal Google Drive

1\. Create an [endpoint for lrs.brown.edu/Research](broken://pages/-M9Umh62EigOmSnDs450). If you already have one to use, skip this step.

2\. Create an [endpoint for your Brown personal Google drive](/storage-and-transfer/globus/creating-endpoints/creation-of-globus-endpoint-for-brown-google-drive.md). If you already have one to use, skip this step.

3\. [Transfer data between the two endpoints](/storage-and-transfer/globus/manipulating-endpoints/transfer-data-between-endpoints.md).

## 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

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/getting-started/transfer-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
