Sherbrooke

At Sherbrooke we have a couple of options,

NAU

Here is a summary of my current understanding of cloud storage options available to NAU researchers, and to our collaborators. Link to official docs.

  • OneDrive: 1TB free, unable to share with anyone on the internet (only with NAU or people on a list who login, called to confirm this with ITS on 5 Sep 2023).
  • GoogleDrive: 25GB free (able to share with anyone on the internet without having them login).
  • Dropbox: unlimited for $180 per year.
  • Bonsai: NAU students have access to 6 gigabytes of free storage, and faculty and staff have access to 25 gigabytes of free storage. Only you have access (no sharing). Backed up daily for over a month and are accessible from any computer with an Internet connection.
  • NAUShares can be accessed by any student, faculty, or staff member if they have been given proper permission to access their departments’ NAUShares. (but no access by outside collaborators)

On Monsoon PIs have 1TB free storage under their /project directory, and those files can be shared via:

  • Globus: collaborators can send you files too, setup group in globus, then setup a share, then collaborators can upload to some directory on your monsoon project space.
  • rcdata: Monsoon projects web sharing. You do cd /projects/genomic-ml on monsoon, then run publish_data path/to/folder then others can access at https://rcdata.nau.edu/genomic-ml/

  • Another publishing option is github pages, but there are space limitations: 100MiB per file max in regular repos, and git large file storage is now an option.
  • Google Drive: 10GB.
  • Hugging Face (can be used by github commands): a total storage capacity of 300 GB per repo, with a maximum file size of 20 GB and a limit of 100,000 files per repo. For example, my student repository contains genome sequences, such as the one found here: chipseq.
