EgressFree, 'no cost dissemination to other data users'. Downloads are immediate and public in the format submitted; no egress pricing exists in the product. Restricted-use options exist but are optional.
Identityanonymous derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: ing. Unlimited deposits x 30 GB each. 17 deposits = 510 GB; no account-level aggregate is published, and requests above 30 GB go to ICPSR Acquisitions for approval rather than being refused
Limits
  • per-object-cap 30 GB per file source
  • per-object-cap 30 GB/file source
Per-object-cap 30 GB/file; per-deposit 30 GB and 1,000 files; ZIP extraction capped at 1,000 entries.
Bindingper-object-cap the per-object cap sets the shard size and therefore the object count; it bounds the total more tightly than any headline quota
Interfaces3, rest, rclone rest
ToolingWeb upload plus 'Import From Zip' bulk extractor (1,000 files/folders per zip), versioning with a new DOI per version, and the underlying ICPSR deposit pipeline. No public rclone backend; automation is a scripted HTTP/form loop rather than a documented S3-style API — this is the weak point versus RepOD.

ReliabilityLong-running (ICPSR since 1962) with DOI permanence and version history; the failure mode is editorial/scope rejection, not data loss or throttling.
