The Data Store is more than having a place to save your files. The Data Store is a way to manage the life cycle of your data. From the moment you create data, to publication and beyond, there are a number of practices you should follow to ensure the integrity and value of your data are maintained. This includes making your data FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). The Data Store helps to achieve this with less effort. This guide will cover the minimum needed to get you started. Please look through the |Data Store Manual| for a more comprehensive look at Data Store capabilities.

Warning
When uploading your data to the Data Store you should not upload files/folders with names containing spaces (e.g. experiment one.fastq) or name that contain special characters (e.g. ~ ` ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + = { } [ ] | : ; " ' < > , ? /). The Apps on the Discovery Environment and most command line apps will typically not tolerate these characters. For long file/folder names the use of underscores (e.g. experiment_one.fastq) is the recommended practice.
