Description

We've recently added the ability to upload via Globus as an external tool (thanks to work from Borealis and @qqmyers).

We've also had historic requests for box support, google drive support, etc.

So we should review how globus is added (and also file uploader, I believe) and allow for other "upload" external tools to support these in a flexible way.

Research direction

Start by reviewing how Globus was added as an external upload tool and how the file uploader is handled. Read the related issue #6680 for historical context and existing requests such as Box and Google Drive support. Done means defining and implementing a flexible approach that supports additional upload external tools.
