Assume some lab decides to use hosted labkey, and they receive a folder on your site. The add various data and files. Then assume their institution decides to install labkey and they want to migrate this folder from labkey, back to their local server. Is there any sort of path to do that?

I ask b/c I wonder if that isnt a worthwhile selling point. While your hosting is free, any PI should rightly ask the question: what happens to my data should something ever happen to labkey?

Hi Ben,

This is something that we mention in our hosted FAQ:

http://labkey.com/hosted/labkey-hosted-faq

All of the data in the hosted server is available to export and use external to the LabKey Hosted server. Any files uploaded to the server or downloaded from the server can be downloaded as well. We don't yet have a simple way to transfer all of the data seamlessly between servers, but we'd be happy to work with users if they want to migrate from a hosted server to a local installation.

Thanks,
Josh
