Data files can be directly uploaded into Galaxy / Alveo from your computer. They are then usable in the same way as data files imported from the Alveo Collections.
Uploading data to Galaxy / Alveo is not the same as uploading data to Alveo.
The data you upload will only be available to you on Galaxy / Alveo, not via any Alveo feature. Alveo is a tool for discovering data in its pre-loaded Collections. There is currently no feature provided to upload data to Alveo.
To Upload Data Files from your Computer…
- Click above the Tools column at the left of the Galaxy screen. The dialog shown below will be displayed.
- Drag a file from your computer’s file explorer and drop it onto this window. They file’s name and size will be shown in a new line in the table.
