Hi Scott,

Galaxy can retrieve data from any publicly available URL. Just paste the URL into the upload modal using the 'paste/fetch data'.

This probably won't work with some of the services as they won't serve you content without visiting their site. But it works with e.g. dropbox if you add `dl=1` in the end of the shared url.

Hi all,

Of course, we need to upload large data files. I understand that the common way to achieve this is with an FTP server, but due to our situation setting one up is problematic. Does Galaxy have any mechanism for retrieving data from cloud resources such as Dropbox, Box, or Google Drive?

Thanks in advance,
