[galaxy-user] Importing existing data into Galaxy

[Oren Livne]

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?

Thanks,
Oren
