ReadME for uploading files into MIT Seek system

Congratulation, you open this ReadMe file successfully.

If your file size is below 1GB, you can use the web interface directly at http://fairdata.mit.edu:8010/seek/data/upload/ to upload your files.

Follow steps below for how to upload your data or protocol files larger than 1GB:

  1. Click the "Open" button at the top left corner of this page;
  2. Choose "Show in File Explorer" to open the File Explorer, where you can find this ReadME file, as well as two sub-folders called "for_datafiles" and "for_protocols";
  3. Drag and drop your data files into the "for_datafiles" sub-folder or protocol files into the "for_protocols" sub-folder, respectively. Depending on the network speed, a file in 2GB size will take about a few minutes to get synchronized into the Dropbox folder;
  4. Files uploaded in those two sub-folders will be uploaded in SEEK system every night at 12am Eastern Time (ET).
