I use the UCSC genome browser to view NGS data. The browser needs to point a url to a server where data is stored in a binary (bigWig) format. I’ve looked into Google Drive/ iCloud drive/ One Drive. However, UCSC’s access to the files needs to be byte range-enabled, and these guys don’t seem to do this. Seems like I may need to find a dedicated server. At this point, my employer doesn't have a solution allowing UCSC access through the firewall. I’m looking into setting up a web server using MS Azure. Looks like you have to learn some .net programming for this, though, which will take a while.
Any advice regarding better (easier) solutions would be greatly appreciated.
