Research Workspace Files
Researchers can attach files to a workspace - working documents, datasets, images - directly in the research portal. Uploads count toward the researcher's storage quota.
Where to find it
Open a workspace and click Files in the header
(/research/workspaces/{id}/files). Workspace owners and accepted members can
see the files; only the owner can delete them.
Uploading
- Choose a file in the upload box and submit.
- The file is stored against the workspace and recorded with its size and a SHA-256 checksum.
- If the upload would exceed your storage quota it is blocked with a message; if it brings you near the limit you get a warning but the upload still completes.
The storage usage bar at the top of the page shows how much of your quota is used.
Downloading and deleting
- Download - available to the owner and members. Each download counts toward your download quota and is recorded in your activity log.
- Delete - owner only; removes the file from storage and the workspace.
Large files
For a single very large file (over the normal upload limit), use the resumable upload option on the ingest screen instead - see the Resumable (chunked) uploads guide.
