UNC OneDrive Collection Properties

• This is a High Assurance (HA) collection. It has suitable security measures for use with sensitive data (including PHI). When accessing the collection, the green lock icon next to its name indicates its HA status.
• When accessing the collection, the default path is /My files/ which includes your files in OneDrive. Going "up one folder" (or setting the path to /) shows all paths available in OneDrive:

Path	Description
/My files/	your documents in OneDrive
/Shared/	documents shared with you in OneDrive
/Shared libraries/	documents from Office365 Groups that you have followed in SharePoint

Access and setup for the UNC OneDrive collection

1. Log in to Globus.org
2. On the File Manager page, for Collection enter "UNC Research Computing OneDrive HA" (or start entering this name and when it appears in the search results select it).
3. The first time that you access the collection, you will be prompted for credential setup:

Select the Continue button and follow the prompts until you are returned to the File Manager page with the collection selected. The Path should contain the value “/My files/” which is the path to your individual OneDrive storage.

4. It is also possible to access OneDrive data which has been shared with you. To do so, select the link “up one folder”

followed by entering the “Shared” folder (by double-clicking it).

Creating a shared collection from OneDrive/SharePoint

If you have shared collections (High Assurance or standard) from a Personal collection/endpoint on your laptop/desktop computer, setting up shared collections from OneDrive or Office365 Groups in SharePoint may be a more convenient alternative.

• The shared collections would always be available.
• No Personal collection is required.
• Transfers are from/to the cloud and don't access your laptop/desktop.

To set up a shared collection, follow the instructions at Sharing Files with Collaborators Using Globus using "UNC Research Computing OneDrive HA" as the collection to share from.
