Hello,

I frequently exchange large simulation data with my colleagues.

Before we used AFS personal /public, /work and /share folders.  
There is possible to copy files with the usual ‘cp -r’.

What will be equivalent usage at /eos or CERNBox?

Right now I can only download files shared with me via web browser, and then upload them back to my personal /eos folder, which is quite inefficient.

Any suggestions are welcome,  
Volodymyr
