Do we have any KBase Globus Online endpoints defined? It seems it would make sense to have ADM storage visible via both Globus Online and Shock. Since Shock doesn't supply any real upload support (the client application doesn't seem to do much from my read of it) it would make sense to utilize GO to provide high performance upload.

With Globus Connect (a client-side application that appears to integrate nicely with the Mac at least), we could enable high performance up/downloads between user systems and KBase.

This seems related - globus connect multiuser https://www.globusonline.org/gcmu/ and would be required on the KB transfer node (it requires firewall be opened).

The context of this is enabling real-life large file upload for KB users without forcing them to handle the huge details required since the Shock folks don't care to make things easy for the end user.
