HydroShare is an open-source general purpose data repository for the water community, created with the goal of increasing data sharing and lowering the barrier to entry for FAIR data practices. We approach this goal by removing both traditional and perceived barriers to data sharing through an intuitive and general purpose, file agnostic repository. We have found that abundant and easy to access instruction in various formats, one on one interactions, and a flexible interface eases the burden of learning to use a data sharing platform.
