Frequently asked questions

  • What type of research has foldercase been designed for?
    Foldercase is a very flexible platform that supports most areas of research. It is similarly flexible in terms of scale, whether you would like to manage a single research project, an entire research group's work, or a large-scale international academic network. Therefore, you can join as an individual or as a research team, and you can flexibly add or remove teams as your research progresses.
  • Is foldercase a free platform for academic purposes?
    Yes, foldercase is permanently free for academic purposes.
  • I am already using tools for file sharing and collaborative programming. What's the benefit of using foldercase?
    Foldercase allows you to manage your research in one place. This means that you can integrate your existing storage solutions and repositories into your foldercase projects and use the platform as a transparent, research project management tool.
  • What is the benefit of using foldercase compared to other team-working platforms?
    Team-work in research has very specific needs that are not fully addressed by general purpose team-working platforms. Communication in research profits in particular from a transparent digital infrastructure that captures the complex project landscape and the interactions between institutions and infrastructures in academic networks.
  • Can foldercase be used for exchanging research data?
    With foldercase, you can manage your research data in a way that does not endanger sensitive information. This means that your data can be recorded by meta-data entries, and you can share these records with your colleagues and collaborators. This enables communication regarding data harmonization, processing or analytics, without the need to upload sensitive research data directly.
  • Our research group has difficulties organizing data. How can foldercase help?
    Data records on foldercase capture dependencies between datasets, such as between original raw data and processed versions. You can also store your processing scripts with the respective datasets and link them to a given research project, in order to organize your data infrastructure. Also, you can upload variable names and anonymized observation identifiers, making your data searchable without endangering sensitive information.
