Data access via the web portal

The easiest method to transfer data to or from the Radboud Data Repository (RDR), is via the web portal in the Files tab of the collection's landing page. This page explains how you can use the web portal to upload, manage, and download data. You can only use these features if you are a manager or contributor to the collection in question.

Uploading data

You can upload data via the Upload files and Upload folder buttons or by drag and drop. Note that there is an upload limit of 300 GB for a single file. If you want to upload files that are larger than 300 GB, try using WebDAV or contact us at `rdmsupport@ubn.ru.nl <mailto:rdmsupport@ubn.ru.nl>`_for Radboud University employees or datastewardship.im@radboudumc.nl for RUMC employees.

1. Go the collection's landing page and click on the Files tab

2. You now have three options to upload your files:

   1. Click the Upload files button to upload one or several files:

   3. Alternatively, you can drag and drop files or entire folders into the Files tab of the collection:

      

The RDR displays the progress of your upload per file. Once all files have been uploaded correctly, a message is displayed that all files have been uploaded. If your upload failed, the RDR lists all files that failed to upload. You should simply try again: the RDR will resume the upload from where it was disrupted. If your upload failed because you tried to upload more files than your collection quota allows, the RDR lists all files that cannot be uploaded because the collection quota has been reached. You should either clean up your collection by deleting files or request your administrator to increase the collection quota.
