<p class="MsoPlainText">I can suggest one workaround approach to ingesting >2GB size files into Dataverse that may work for you (and others using DVN).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Our system administrator found that you can upload a dummy file to Dataverse (e.g. near zero bytes), turn off Dataverse, and then move the large file (e.g. >2GB) into the same location and name as the dummy file within the database at
the back-end of Dataverse. After modifying the checksum for the file in the database (back-end again) and turning Dataverse back on, Dataverse will then recognize the larger file and make it available for download.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It requires a little comfortability with the inner workings of databases, but I hope that helps you and others looking for ways to make large files accessible through DVN!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">We are working with our campus colleagues to open UBC MOOC data via our DataVerse instance -
<a href="http://dvn.library.ubc.ca" target="_blank">http://dvn.library.ubc.ca</a>. The problem is that these files are really big, more than 10GB each.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">We could split these with a zip software of even with Linux commands, however, we are wondering whether anyone has experience working with really big
files in DataVerse.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
