You can also select "Download" on the "Select an Action" menu to the right of the file name. Most files on Deep Blue Data can be downloaded directly from the Work, but some files are so large that timeouts and errors can occur when trying to retrieve them through a browser.

To access these larger files, you can use Globus. For those who use Deep Blue Data frequently, Globus also may end up serving as a more convenient way to access files of all types and sizes. Globus is a nonprofit platform created by the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory that enables the simple transfer of digital files as large as petabytes a petabyte is 1, terabytes or 1,, gigabytes from established endpoints, one of which can be your work or personal computer.

Below is a short guide for setting up Globus on your computer. Globus also has detailed "How To" walkthroughs for basic and more complicated setup processes.

The first step is to set up an account with the Globus Web App, which can be connected to other personal and institutional accounts, including those at the University of Michigan. To begin setting up an account, navigate to the Globus login page. In the drop-down menu below "Use your existing organizational login," if the name of your institution is listed e. If your institution is not listed, or you would prefer to use a non-institutional email, click "Sign in with Google" below the "Continue" button.

If you do not have a Google account, you may create an account using Globus ID. When you are asked if you want to link to an existing Globus account, click "Continue.

Once you have set up a Globus account, you will want to establish a personal endpoint on your computer so that you can transfer data to it.

For step 2 "Generate a Setup Key for Installation" , click "Generate Setup Key," copy the result, and keep it in your clipboard or paste it in another document.

Most default settings are satisfactory, though later you may want to change the folder, or directory, to which Globus sends transferred files. During the installation process or when you first open the program, depending on your operating system , you will be asked to provide the Setup Key you copied earlier.

On the instructions for Mac and Windows, the Configuration section will tell you how to change the folder that Globus can access. In particular, you may need to set the destination folder as writable for transfers to be successful. Once you have an account and Globus Connect Personal is installed on your computer, you have everything in place to begin transferring files from Deep Blue Data.

Follow the steps below to complete the transfer process. Return to the Work in Deep Blue Data from which you would like to transfer files to your computer.
