Let's also add they they'll need to create a Support Request via support@listserv.uab.edu to help bring it to our attention through existing support channels. Otherwise it goes directly to our inboxes and could get lost and not attended to.

What would you like to see added?
Some users want to be able to share data from local workstations and personal machines with other Globus users without having to move it to Cheaha first. This is possible through Globus connect Personal (GCP) endpoints, but some steps are necessary for setup.
Being added to the UAB Globus group
They need to be added to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (HA) Globus group. No one is added by default, they must apply through the Globus interface and wait for one of the group admins to accept their application.
Make Directories Shareable
On the local machine, you need to enable sharing for the given directories you want to share. The process is different for different OS listed below.

Instead only add the parent folder for all of the directories you want to share and make it sharable. All subdirectories inherit the sharable trait from the parent and can be made into their own Guest collections and shared with distinct groups.
Change the GCP Collection Subscription
Once you are added to the UAB Globus group, you can link your GCP collection with the UAB license. Do the following:
