Digital services overview
An overview of digital services that researchers at KTH can use for storing, computing on, sharing and publishing research material. Search freely, filter by provider, function group or service type, or click any tag to see everything that matches it. Select a service to open its card with access details, guides and further information.
Missing information is marked as uppgift saknas rather than left out. Costs are described in relation to other options instead of as a price list, and risks are described the same way for all providers.
No services match the filter.
Zenodo
CERN / EU
General purpose repository for publishing datasets, software and other research output with a DOI.
Access
No agreement or application needed. Uploads up to 50 GB per record are free; larger datasets can be requested.
Guides
- Sign in at https://zenodo.org with ORCID so your output is linked to you.
- Choose New upload, add files and fill in title, authors and licence.
- Reserve a DOI if you need to cite the dataset before publishing.
- Publish — the record and DOI become permanent.
About the service
Zenodo supports FAIR publishing: persistent identifiers, open licences, versioning and machine-readable metadata. Records can be embargoed or restricted, but Zenodo is not a service for personal or confidential data.
Dropbox
Dropbox Inc.
Commercial file sync and sharing, common in external collaborations but not covered by a central KTH agreement.
Access
There is no central KTH agreement, so cost is carried by the project or the individual. Compared with KTH OneDrive, which is already paid for centrally, Dropbox adds a direct cost.
Guides
- Create or join a Dropbox team owned by the project.
- Set up a shared project folder with named members rather than public links.
- Review sharing settings regularly and remove members when they leave.
About the service
Dropbox is widely used by external partners, which can make it practical in collaborations. Storage location is global and no KTH data processing agreement is in place, so it should not be used for personal or confidential data.
EOSC EU Node storage
EOSC
European Open Science Cloud storage and compute for project data, including Jupyter notebooks close to the data.
Access
Sign in with your institutional identity (KTH) via the EOSC EU Node portal. A baseline allocation is free; larger allocations are requested through the portal — uppgift saknas about current quota limits.
Guides
- Open the EOSC EU Node portal and sign in with your KTH account.
- Choose File sync and share for storage, or Interactive notebooks for Jupyter.
- Upload or mount your project data.
- Share folders with project members using their EOSC identities.
About the service
Data stays within EU infrastructure, which helps with funder and regulatory requirements on location. The service is developing quickly, so availability and quotas may change over the lifetime of a project.
KTH OneDrive
KTH
Personal and shared cloud storage included in the KTH Microsoft 365 agreement, suited for day-to-day working files.
Access
Log in with your KTH account. No application or extra cost for the individual researcher; the service is part of the central agreement.
Guides
- Open https://portal.office.com and sign in with your KTH account.
- Choose OneDrive in the app launcher.
- Create a project folder and use Share to invite co-workers by KTH e-mail.
- Install the desktop client if you want the folder synced locally.
About the service
OneDrive is intended for working material during a project. It is not an archive: data that must be preserved or published should be moved to a repository at the end of the project. Sensitive personal data requires a separate assessment before use — uppgift saknas about approved categories for your specific project until a data protection review is done.
GitHub
Microsoft
Version control and collaboration for code, analysis scripts and documentation, with a KTH organisation available.
Access
Create a personal account and ask the relevant KTH organisation owner to add you. Private repositories are included at no cost for academic use.
Guides
- Create a repository and add a
README.mdand a licence file. - Clone it locally with
git cloneand commit your work regularly. - Use branches and pull requests when several people work in parallel.
- Connect the repository to Zenodo to get a DOI for each release.
About the service
GitHub is well suited for code and text-based material. It should not be used for personal data or large binary datasets. Data stored on GitHub is hosted globally, which must be considered when the project has location requirements.
Add a service
Every service is one markdown file in docs/en/services/.
Adding a file there is enough — the card, tags, filters and the service page
are generated automatically.
