Creating Link for Data Upload

Scenario: you know some non-UCSB person who has data you want them to upload it to your GRIT storage.

First, this feature is only enabled by GRIT staff for temporary use, but once it's enabled, here are the steps.

 

1) Click on the share icon for the folder you want to have data uploaded to:

2) Click the down arrow near 'view only' and select 'custom permissions':

3) Select 'File drop', then type in a password - this password will be used by the person who receives the link to allow them to upload data. Then click 'update share':

4) Copy the link by click on the dual arrow box (see below) and send it along with the password to the person uploading the data. (Ideally send the password separately using a one time secrete link: https://1ty.me/)

Give that a try and let us know how it goes.
