For any of these mentioned analysis, you would need to copy the files of interest to a project and set them as inputs in the same workflow. As long as the data files are linked/contained within the same project, they can be accessed by any CWL tool or Data Studio session and co-analyzed. This is because, for analysis, the files are streamed to the cloud instance (analogous to an HPC node) prior to running the analysis. Most of this is handled seamlessly on the BDC-SB platform, with some specific file paths that you may need to be aware of in a Data Studio session (https://sb-biodatacatalyst.readme.io/docs/about-files-in-a-data-cruncher-analysis).
