If you have a user account in MoDaC and Google, you can download one or more files from MoDaC to Google Cloud. 

  1. Navigate to the Download page, as described in Downloading to Other Locations. The Download page appears, listing the selected file or files. (To deselect one file, click the checkbox in that row.)
  2. Select Google Cloud
  3. Specify the following information:
    • Click Authorize MoDaC to Access Your Google Cloud. A Google page appears. Follow the prompts. The MoDaC Download page reappears.
    • Specify the Google Cloud bucket name. 
    • If you are downloading one or more collections, specify the path to and the name of the destination folder. Do not begin the path with a slash. If the destination folder structure you specify does not already exist, MoDaC creates it.
    • If you are downloading a single file, you can keep the existing file name or specify a new file name. 
  4. Click Download. The system transfers the data based on your selections. 
  5. When the system displays the task ID, consider clicking that link to view the progress of the download. For instructions, refer to Viewing Status

Google periodically invites users to strengthen the security of their Google accounts. If you follow the Google prompts to remove MoDaC, you can authorize access again the next time you try to download data to Google Cloud in MoDaC.
