Ensuring the security and confidentiality of shared files is paramount. Researchers should:
- Use Encrypted Connections: Always use encrypted channels for file transfer (e.g., HTTPS, SFTP). - Access Control: Limit access to sensitive data to authorized individuals only. - Regular Backups: Maintain regular backups of important data to prevent loss. - Institutional Policies: Adhere to institutional guidelines and best practices for data sharing and management.
