Dear AnVIL support team. We have gained access though dbGAP to a dataset that is avaialble through AnVIL. In AnVIL data explorer, it says that the dataset can only be exported to Terra. I want to know whether it is possible to transfer the data directly from Anvil to the target Google cloud bucket in Asia without going through Terra. This is because our institutional billing information is not allowed to be share on Terra. Thank you

Hi @Younes ,

We are currently looking into this with the Terra team.

Thanks!
