Globus is a cloud storage service that allows you to access and share files across different devices and platforms.

It's a great alternative to traditional cloud storage services like OneDrive, and it's especially useful for those who need to collaborate with others on large files. Globus offers a user-friendly interface and robust security features, making it a reliable choice for storing and sharing sensitive data.

One of the key benefits of Globus is its ability to transfer large files quickly and efficiently. According to the article, Globus can transfer files up to 10 GB in size, making it ideal for sharing large datasets or multimedia files.

Globus also integrates seamlessly with the OneDrive desktop app, allowing you to access and manage your files from a single interface. This makes it easy to switch between the two services and get the most out of your cloud storage experience.

To link your UNL OneDrive account to Globus, you'll need to sign in to your Globus account using your campus credentials or Globus ID.

After signing into your UNL account, you'll be asked to confirm the permissions used by Globus to access your account. Click on “Allow” to continue the process.

Once you've allowed the permissions, you'll be able to use Globus to transfer data to and from your UNL OneDrive account under the hcc#onedrive endpoint.
