GenomeSpace creates a new folder within your Google Drive, in the left directories panel, labeled GenomeSpacePublic.
GenomeSpace will operate exclusively on files and folders within GenomeSpacePublic. Place any data files you want to access from GenomeSpace tools under this folder.
The GenomeSpacePublic folder is created with Public on the web Google Drive permissions. This permission level allows anyone to access the contents of the folder via search results or the web address. If you have sensitive data that you would like to use from GenomeSpace data tools, we recommend you place it under your GenomeSpace home directory, in a GenomeSpace-mounted Dropbox account, or in an Amazon S3 bucket.
