Different types of research data require different kinds of storage solutions. To determine which solution fits your research data and how to work with it, there are a number of questions you have to consider:

  • Do I want to share my research data with others or not?
  • Do I need to have my data stored locally or is external storage allowed? Do I need backups?
  • What kind of additional storage services do I want or need?
