About Bioshare
Bioshare is a file sharing web application designed
for sharing the “Big Data” common to bioinformatics. While it was
developed to support the effective sharing of larger datasets, it can
and has been used to share all kinds of data, large and small.
The central goals of Bioshare are:
- To easily share data with any collaborator. The only thing that is
needed is an email address.
- To permit granular permissions, for different levels of access. Users
can read, write, or administer data shares. See share permissions
for more details.
- To provide a variety of file transfer protocols to fit a variety of
different scenarios. Bioshare currently supports file transfers via
the browser, SFTP, rsync, and wget.
- To provide a user friendly interface, which makes searching,
browsing, and viewing/downloading files easy.
