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

  1. Choose a file in the upload box and submit.
  2. The file is stored against the workspace and recorded with its size and a SHA-256 checksum.
  3. 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.
