Earlier this year, we made it easier for you to send large files to the Stanford Digital Repository (SDR) when we connected the file transfer service Globus to our self-deposit application. Now we've made moving files from some of your favorite Stanford locations to the SDR even easier.
If your content is on Oak, Sherlock, or Stanford's Google Drive, you no longer need to install software or even figure out how to wrangle the Globus transfer window to show your files on one side and our destination folder on the other.
All you need to do is choose the Globus file upload and then select Oak, Sherlock, or Google Drive from the drop-down menu. We'll create a link that takes you exactly where you need to be. This video, Depositing from Stanford's Oak, Sherlock and GDrive to the Stanford Digital Repository using Globus, shows you how.
If you've never used Globus before, you'll be escorted through the necessary Globus authorizations first (not shown).
We ask that if you are planning to deposit 1 TB or more of content you contact us first before you start.
If you'd like to use the SDR for sharing and preserving your research data, request access to the self-deposit web application by using the Help link that's on the SDR web page or by emailing SDR staff.
