Dear Greg,

Thanks so much, this helps a lot. I created a public data library, but it is not listed in the list of libraries on the left pane in "Analyze Data". How can I access it and use its files in workflows?

Oren,

The best way to do this would be to use galaxy data libraries, uploading files from file system paths and not copying the files into the Galaxy file location.

The following provides all of the details about data libraries:

Let us know if you encounter any issues.

Dear All,

We have a large collection of large data files on our shared file system. We would like to make a subset of them available to a galaxy user session (based on user privileges; different subsets for different users). We want to leave files in their original locations and point galaxy to their paths without copying them. What is the best option for implementing this bridge? Remote data source/data library uploaded on the fly/other?
