Deposit workflow
Pre-steps
Preparation is needed before using Globus to transfer files. You must 1) Get a Globus account, 2) Download and run Globus Connect software:
- Create account at https://www.globus.org/ using one of the 4 options:
- Globus ID
- ORCID
- Google account
- Institutional account (if available)
- Install and run Globus Connect Personal software (https://www.globus.org/globus-connect-personal)
- If the data is on a computer or an external hard drive, follow the steps provided on the Globus website to download, install, and configure Globus Connect Personal on your machine.
- If the data is on your institutional or laboratory server, contact your network or system administrators to obtain the Globus Endpoint name for the server you are using. A Globus Connect Endpoint is the physical location where your files currently reside. If your institution or laboratory does not have a Globus Endpoint installed on their server.
Depositing Data in Dataverse
- Log into Dataverse, create a dataset and save it. The “Upload with Globus” button will be available on the Upload Files page once you save the dataset.
- Select “Upload Files” and go to the “Upload with Globus” section of the page.
- Ensure that Globus Connect Personal is running
- Select “Upload with Globus”

- Globus moves files and directories between two endpoints: the source endpoint (running on your computer, shown on the left hand side of the page) and the destination endpoint (Dataverse, shown on the right hand side of the page).
Select your source endpoint by clicking on “Search” beside the source Collection
- Navigate to the files or directory you would like to transfer. You can shift-click or ctrl-click to build your selection of files. Click on the transfer and Sync options at the bottom of the screen.
- Click on the transfer and Sync options at the bottom of the screen.
- Under “Label this transfer” enter a name to make it easy to identify (optional)
- Initiate the transfer by clicking the blue start button.
