Connecting a remote file storage

An administrator (programmer) of the perceptual test can use shared folders on data storage to :

A) read the stimuli files (sound waveforms, pictures or videos). Data read needs to be set for the folder.

B) write and read the ptest files containing the test definitions. Data read and write needs to be set for the folder.

C) write the results of the test. Data write permissions need to be set for the folder (eg. as blind write for file upload only).

The test URL allows A and C access to the data storage. Multiple folders can be simultaneously shared this way. The B access to the data is only required for the editor.

The following data storages are supported:

• CESNET owncloud

• B2DROP (nextcloud)

• pCloud (limited support)

CESNET owncloud

CESNET assigns users, students and employees of universities and its other members, an owncloud data store with a 100Gb capacity https://owncloud.cesnet.cz/index.php/login.

2. Create new folder or select an existing folder.

3. Create 2 links for sharing, the first one with rights to read and the second one with the right to read.

4. Create a folder or select an existing folder for the results (the same folder as in step number two can be selected)

5. Create a share link with blind write rights (file upload only).

Creating a shared link on Cesnet owncloud

Assign the previously created links in steps 3 and 5, in the editor settings.

B2DROP

A service of the european infrastructure. A 20GB account is offered as baseline and a further 100-500GB account is offered as premium upon request of the organisation or community.

pCloud

Public service offering 10GB free account (additional space is purchase only with either monthly, yearly or single lifetime subscriptions).

Due to the missing write and blind write link, pcloud can only be used to read existing tests and stimuli or to create a uniqe link for the access to a psychotest.
