Managing Data

Data Files is a multi-purpose data repository that enables users to organize and personalize their data files and share them with others. Features include:

  • File uploads and downloads
  • Searching files
  • File manipulation operations (ex. Rename, Move, Copy, Preview, Compress, Extract, Download, Move to Trash)

Data is organized into several categories:

My Data (Work)

This is your private data workspace, only accessible to you. As a result, you have ownership and read/write permissions over these files and folders.

My Data (Lonestar6 Scratch)

Similar to the Work space, this is your private data workspace, only accessible to you. It is on the Lonestar6 scratch file system, and subject to a purge policy.

Community Data

Community Data is data that is viewable by all authorized portal users.

Shared Workspaces

This is your shared workspace, where you can create project folders (using the +Add button) to be shared with other collaborators. Any user added to a specific project by the PI can access data uploaded into that specific project folder.

Note: A project under Shared Workspaces is a shared space and is different from a project allocation through TACC’s User Portal. Any user can be a PI, Co-PI, and/or Collaborator in the UTRC Portal (this is different from the PI Eligibility Requirements required for TACC’s User Portal).

Google Drive

This area contains any files stored in the user's Google Drive if they have added support for Google Drive under their user account. Additional third-party technologies can be integrated into portals upon request (once deemed compatible with the portal).
