Personal collections are typically associated with individual users and are not shared by default with other users unless explicitly configured to do so. Users can upload, download, manage, and share files and directories within their personal collection.

You do not need administrative privileges on a machine to create a personal collection, however you will need the appropriate permissions to access the data you intend to transfer.

Make a Personal Collection

  1. Go to the Globus Connect Personal page. Scroll down to the Install Globus Connect Personal section and click on the link of your machine’s operating system.

    If installing on a Linux machine without a graphical interface, follow the command-line instructions on the Globus Linux install page.

  2. Follow the instructions to install Globus Connect Personal on your machine.
  3. During installation, Globus Connect Personal will ask you to login to Globus. Use your BU GlobusID.
  4. During installation, Globus Connect Personal will ask you to give a name to the new collection on your machine. This is how you will identify the collection associated with your machine within the Globus ecosystem. In the example below, the new collection will be called RCS-Macbook. Leave the High Assurance box unchecked (it is not included in the BU Globus Subscription).
  5. The installation should say the setup successful. You can exit setup.

    6. .

 

(OPTIONAL) To confirm that your new personal collection is registered properly with Globus, follow these steps:

  1. Login to Globus
  2. On the left-side menu, select COLLECTIONS [1]. Then check the box Administered By You [2]. You should see your newly created personal collection listed [3].
