Globus - Connecting to your OneDrive and SharePoint

Overview

In order to transfer files to or from a OneDrive or SharePoint folder, you will need to create an Endpoint in in the collection.

Naming Endpoints

In order to make Endpoints easy to find, we recommend following a common TAMU Globus Naming Convention.
