  • Click on the Collections Tab and click "Add a Guest Collection"
  • Browse to the folder in your Google Drive that you wish to share and give it a Display Name. Click Create Collection.

Create a New Guest Collection Permissions

  • Select Add Permissions - Share With (Here the "/" is the root of the folder you browsed to when creating this share. In this example, it is "My Drive/Fernsler's Demo Share/" in user fernsler's LBNL Google Drive)
  • Enter the name/email of a collaborator you wish to share with, and give them appropriate permissions. By default, read only access to shares is active. Click Add Permission to create the share. Globus will send the user you are sharing the folder with an email and they will be able to find the Collection you shared by its Display Name in the endpoint tab search (in this example, it is “Share with Wei”)
