## Endpoint management

and the drive appears empty.
The computer that the globus endpoint `University of Auckland Research Data DTN` runs from is occasionally
restarted, and that may cause your research-drive to appear empty when you browse your drive from globus.

In this case, deactivate that endpoint `University of Auckland Research Data DTN`
by
1. selecting [the endpoint's details page](https://app.globus.org/file-manager/collections/e7f6aaae-fe52-11e8-9345-0e3d676669f4/overview)
, and from there:
2. de-activate the endpoint
3. re-activate the endpoint

![](../assets/doc/drive-globus/endpoint_details.png) | ![](../assets/doc/drive-globus/endpoint_deactivate.png) | ![](../assets/doc/drive-globus/endpoint_reactivate.png) |

Now your files should be visible.
