 +Pick whichever of these is easiest for you.

 +  * **Copy it to a KVL scratch directory on Ibex**
 +    * ''/ibex/tmp/kvl'' — note that data here is **automatically purged after 60 days**.
 +  * **Copy it to a KVL scratch directory on Shaheen**
 +    * ''/scratch/tmp''
 +/* TODO - CONFIRM BEFORE PUBLISHING: the previous version of this page said KVL
 +   "had" a scratch directory on Shaheen (past tense), which suggests this may be
 +   retired. If /scratch/tmp is gone, delete the Shaheen bullet above. If it is
 +   still available, confirm whether it is on Shaheen III and whether a purge
 +   policy applies, and say so here. */
 +  * **Send us a share link to your own storage**
 +    * Share the data from OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, or DataWaha and send us the link. Please make sure the link grants us access.
