We’d like to highlight Globus Connectors for cloud storage as the best way to transfer files between PACE and cloud storage services, including Dropbox, Box, and OneDrive. Globus Connectors make it easy to move files between PACE storage (on Phoenix, ICE, or CEDAR) and cloud storage through Globus’s web interface.
Please avoid large transfers to/from the cloud via rclone or other services on the login node (such as the Dropbox API), as these can cause heavy load on the campus network and impact other researchers. PACE has purchased the cloud connectors to provide a better option, for easier use and less network strain.
You can learn more about how to use Globus, including cloud connectors, on PACE in our documentation. Please contact us with questions, or to suggest other cloud storage services for which the connectors could be installed if they would enable your research.
