The Globus platform allows you to share your data hosted at the IGBMC with collaborators around the world.
Here is the procedure for creating a data share with a collaborator outside IGBMC.
Requirements
To be able to share your data with a collaborator outside the IGBMC, your collaborator must have a Globus account. Creating a Globus account is free of charge and can be done from the Edugain identity federation (research institutes and universities worldwide), from an ORCID account or by creating a GlobusID account.
Basecally, you just have to connect to https://app.globus.org once to create your Globus account.
Log on to app.globus.org using the identity federation or your ORCID account
Once you have logged in, search for IGBMC collections in the File Manager
