Can I deposit large datasets at DANS?

Modified on Tue, 30 Sep at 11:48 AM

Our Data Stations support the upload of files up to 9.3GB per file. In case you would like to upload larger files, please contact us. The Data Stations are free of charge up to 50GB per account. In case you would like to upload larger volumes of data, please contact us. 

 

In case you want to upload many files in one dataset, you can use ZIP or TAR files to upload the files together (other forms of file compression such as .rar or .7z are not supported by DANS). These compressed files will automatically be extracted during the upload. The maximum number of files that can be uploaded and extracted through one ZIP or TAR file is 2000. Please note: a ZIP file within another ZIP file is not supported.


In case your dataset consists of many files, we advise to add documentation with a list of all the files, their names and potential relations.
