Erin is correct, Simon Fraser did go with Pydio as a user-facing loading dock to our Islandora-based research data repository but we are now (well, as soon as we can get some developer resources) replacing that with OwnCloud since campus IT has launched a university-wide service based on it. Bot

Hi Krista, I know of at least two Canadian universities (SFU and UPEI) using an integration between Islandora and Pydio for the management of research data. It's explained a bit more here: http://bit.ly/1oX2lfs. The UPEI data sites is: https://data.upei.ca/. Very interesting integrations. ~

I’m really glad Krista asked this question, because it’s one we get asked at UC Berkeley all the time. We’ve launched a project as part of our Research Data Management program to come up with recommendations and a roadmap. We’re calling this “active research data storage” to distinguish it fro

Bittorrent Sync might be an option. It can create a personal cloud https://www.getsync.com/ I haven't tried it but it does seem to work mostly with folders, not individual files. Sincerely, David Bigwood dbigw...@hou.usra.edu Lunar and Planetary Institute @LPI_Library Flickr: https://www.flickr

FigShare also includes active storage / management space for individuals and institutions. https://figshare.com/features I know several universities are looking at using FigShare for these purposes, and then feeding “finished” data into their existing IR or preservation repo. - Tom On Apr

Dryad and FigShare are both preservation repositories, not collaboration spaces like what the OP is looking for. I'm afraid I don't have any recommendations of a good collaborative working space, but Dryad in particular is only for data in a finished state which are associated with a specific peer-

Hi Krista, Our IT Services bought a product called Micro Focus Filr (https://www.novell.com/products/filr/) last year. It provides Dropbox-like functionality, allowing staff/students to share directories on their home drive with project collaborators (external users must register a user account)

Hi Krista, We have several researchers that are using Open Science Framework. It seems to work well for collaboration across institutions and it gives the owner control of granting access. It also syncs with Google Drive, Box, Dropbox and Github which is nice. Hope that helps! *--Reid * *Reid I B
