Deliver sequencing files of any size, to the right person, for a limited time.
Labs upload sequencing files with DekkoDrive and give each named recipient Download access that ends on a set date. There's no file size limit unless your tenancy sets one, and every download is recorded.
- Large files
- No file size limit, and DekkoDrive for bulk uploads.
- Download access
- Ending on a date you set.
- Download record
- Who downloaded each file, and when.
- Identifying data
- Kept to the people named.
Why genomic data is hard to deliver
One genome can run to 100 GB or more, and unlike a password it can't be changed if it leaks: it identifies a person, and their relatives, for life.
Today
- Hard drives couriered between sites
- Cloud links anyone holding them can open
- No record of who downloaded the data
- Links that never expire
With DekkoCORE
- Uploaded whole with DekkoDrive
- Shared with named recipients only
- Each file records who downloaded it
- Access that ends on a set date
How it works in DekkoCORE
One delivery, from the sequencer to the recipient's download.
Step 1
Upload the data
Upload sequencing files with DekkoDrive for Windows, whatever their size.
- DekkoDrive
- No file size limit
Step 2
Keep each delivery apart
Put each recipient's delivery in its own folder.
- Hub folders
Step 3
Share it for a set time
Share the folder with the named recipient at Download, ending on a set date.
- Download
- Access expiry
Step 4
Record every download
Each file lists who downloaded it and when.
- File history
Step 5
Access ends
On the expiry date, access ends, and the data stays with the lab.
- Access expiry
Who gets what access
A typical delivery. You can change or remove anyone's access at any time.

Questions
Is there a file size limit?
No, unless your tenancy sets one. DekkoDrive for Windows is built for large and bulk uploads.
Are large files scanned for malware?
Where malware scanning is enabled, files up to 2 GiB are scanned. Larger files, such as most sequencing files, aren't.
Do recipients need an account?
Yes. You share with named people who sign in, so every download is recorded against a person.
Can recipients keep the data after access ends?
Files they've downloaded stay with them, under your data agreement. Their access in DekkoCORE ends on the expiry date.
Where is the data stored?
DekkoCORE is hosted in-country, in Australia, the United States or Canada.
