How large can datasets be?
- The Texas Data Repository is intended for small data. Any individual file uploaded to the repository must be under 4GB, though any uploads over 2GB, and some below that threshold, may be slow or stall due to variables outside of TDL's control. Using a wired connection for uploads over 2GB is recommended. Full datasets (You can upload as many files as you want to a dataset, which may include multiple files) should be no more than 10GB. Please email support@tdl.org if you having trouble uploading files.
- If you have files over 4GB, we will consider support options on a case by case basis and in consultation with your Institutional TDR liaison.
What are the options for access to my data and licensing?
...
- There is no charge to researchers from participating TDL institutions who deposit their data in the Texas Data Repository, within the volume limits explained above (4GB per file, 10GB total per dataset).
- The Texas Digital Library maintains and supports the Texas Data Repository through funding from its member institutions.

- There are several ways to share data you deposit in the TDR without publishing the data. Go to the User Guide Sections 3.2 and 3.4 for more detail.
- You can provide access to restricted files with anyone (whether they have a TDR user account or not) by creating a private URL.
- You can include others with TDR user accounts to collaborate in the management of datasets, files, and Dataverse collections. More about sharing data.
What if someone I want to share my data with doesn’t have a user account in TDR?
- If you just want to provide “read” access to restricted files, you can create and share a private URL that anyone (whether they have a user account or not) can use to access the data. See Section 3.4 of the User Guide for instructions on sharing via a private URL.
- Other types of sharing and collaborating require that those you are sharing with have user accounts in the TDR. See Section 3.5 of the user guide for instructions on inviting them to create user accounts.
