OneDataShare

OneDataShare (abbreviated as ODS) is a cloud-based managed file transfer system that performs inter-protocol data transfers in a reliable and efficient manner.

ODS provides the end-user with an interface which can be used to initiate file transfers and monitor them simultanously. ODS guarantees efficiency in data transfer by performing software level optimizations (for example - chunking of data into a byte stream of fixed size).

OneDataShare beta version is a publicly available for use and can be accessed using https://www.onedatashare.org/.

ODS currently supports transfers between 7 endpoint protocol types viz.

1. Dropbox
2. Google Drive
3. Grid FTP (Globus)
4. FTP
5. SFTP
6. SSH
7. HTTP

Note: Box and Amazon S3 endpoints support will be provided in future releases
