Limits
  • per-object-cap 9.3 GB per file source
9.3 GB per file; UI upload must finish within 1.5 h; 2,000 files max inside a zip; 1,000 files per UI batch; 100-minute session timeout. Access is gated on affiliation in practice (DANS is for Dutch-institution research).
Identityinstitution (inferred, not read) not published
EgressFree, unmetered; Dataverse-native presigned S3 redirect for public files. No egress pricing.
Per-object cap9.3 GB maximum per file (9300000000 bytes)
Retentionnot stated
Interfacerest, ssh rest
ToolingFull Dataverse REST API (probe: GET https://ssh.datastations.nl/api/info/version -> 200; DataverseNL -> '6.10.1 DANS-DataStation-PATCH-9'), SWORD v2, OAI-PMH.
Composes with9.3 GB/file x unlimited files per dataset x unlimited datasets. No enforced collection quota on either :root or the SSH station: GET /api/dataverses/root/storage/quota?showInherited=true -> 'No quota defined'. 2,200 files = 20 TB.
ReliabilityTightly coupled to Dutch institutional eligibility, so account supply is the limit rather than bytes; otherwise a mature Dataverse instance with no storage cliff.
