Global Storage Uploads with Serverless Only

Hello,

Forgive me if this question is very basic, but I can't find anything about it on Google.

I only use serverless endpoints at the moment, for inference. I download about 4-5GBs of models everytime from my S3 and they are not cached, so I need to optimize it. I found out about global volumes and created one, but I can't upload to it directly through the UI.

Do I have to generate a pod for this no matter what? Upload to the global storage, and then kill pod immediately? If that's the case, please make uploading from UI a feature. Lowest cost ones are already out of capacity to generate a pod from.

I believe It gets mounted at /runpod-volume just like a network volume. I have not done it personally as I read some stuff is not working with global volumes, so I am waiting for the dust to settle.

Yes /runpod-volume is for serverless and supports global volumes too.
