How to use Globus

Introduction

Globus is a non-profit service for moving, syncing, and sharing large amounts of data asynchronously in the background. Transfers are done from and to, so called, endpoints. In order to perform a file transfer from one location to another using the Globus service, both ends must have an endpoint.

Step 1

Create an account to log in to Globus. There are a couple ways:

• Use an Organization's login
  • If you are associated to an organization in the drop down list, you can use your organization's login to create an account.
  • You can also sign up using a Google account or ORCiD ID
• Create a Globus ID

Step 2

After creating an account, download Globus Connect Personal (available for macOS, Linux, and Windows)
