Is there some data limit on Mindprobe?
in JATOS
Respect,
I just have a question: I wonder if there is any limit to the amount of data on Mindprobe that we can use? Namely, for each respondent, my experiment will collect more than 4 MB of data, and if we multiply that by several hundred respondents, it will be perhaps a Gigabyte. I would not like there to be a risk of filling some kind of quota in the middle of the research.
Thanks for the answer, Marko

Hi @mmalikovic ,
No there is no (easily reached) data limit. However, of course we are paying server storage costs, so please remove the data when you're done to free up space!

Let me chime in here, a little late but better than never: Actually there is a quota of 5MB per result data submit or append on Mindprobe. That means that every use of one of the jatos.js functions to send result data to the JATOS server (
jatos.submitResultDataorjatos.appendResultData) has the quota of 5MB. That does not limit the result data size of your whole study or even from one study or component run - So, if your study will store 1 GB altogether (or more), that is okay. It is just a quote for the single use of eitherjatos.submitResultDataorjatos.appendResultData. The main purpose of this quota is to prevent users of sending large amounts of data repeatedly during one study run and therefore put to much load on the JATOS server. Alternatively one can usejatos.appendResultDataand send several chunks of the data or usejatos.uploadResultFile.TLTR: you are fine if your result data is under 5MB per component run - or use
jatos.appendResultData.
