We use Box (officially) and Google Drive (unofficially) at the Getty. Box has file size and overall account limitations that GDrive doesn't. I would recommend similar solutions over setting up a private SFTP server and asking partners to download client software to get to your files. Also, both systems have solid APIs that your developers may use to automate file management if necessary. If the number and volume of shared files increase beyond manageable limits you may want to put your research data in a repository system with a search index, unless you have that already but only for internal use and you are setting up a mirror with transient, disposable copies.

I would look to your central IT department to see if they have any agreements for cloud providers for the specific type of data you are thinking might be included. In the past, at least from my most recent experience, most cloud providers need a separate agreement above the most basic OneDrive, box.com agreement and comes at a higher price. > > > AM > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Code for Libraries [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Elizabeth Leonard > Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2020 9:15 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] file sharing/transfer > > Possibly both- this is a bit of a thought experiment.
