Safely store my research data
Before you start
You will need your UCL user ID and password.
The research data storage service follows a project-based approach. You need to provide the following information about your research project:
- a project title that is likely to be unique to your project. A title such as “neuroscience” will not distinguish your project from others;
- a brief description of the project (you can use the abstract from your grant application if you have one);
- a list of administrators you authorise to make decisions about the storage (e.g. adding and removing members);
- a list of the project members (other than yourself and the optional administrators);
- start and end dates for your project;
- the volume of storage you expect to need in terabytes. This is an upper limit. If you expect to use less than 1TB, enter '1'; and
- add details of any grants that fund the project.
There is a charge for storage above a free quota of five TB. Please read the service support page for further details.
- mount your storage on your computer;
- upload your research data;
- control access for project members;
- manage your usage and quota;
- access research data storage from other platforms.
