Hi all,

I am trying to replace some .zip files in an existing dataset with updated versions. However, when I try to replace these .zip files with new .zip files, I get an error message that says that I cannot replace one file with many files. However, I don't want dataverse to unzip the files - I want to keep it on dataverse as an archive. Any tips on how to get around this?

The only way I found for uploading a zip file to DataVerse 4.x

Double zipped files.
I put the zip file in a new zip file => foo.zip.zip

If there is a better way, please let me know.

Yes, Leonhard is right. Double zipping is a workaround. (Thanks for the quick reply!) We've thought about adding a checkbox in the GUI called something like "disable unzipping": https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/3439

Yes, would love a "keep zips zipped" checkbox.

I haven't tried it, but will zip files stay zipped if uploading via the API?

I'm not sure how the new native file upload API works but SWORD works the same as the GUI: if you double zip the file, the file will remain zipped.

All are welcome to leave comments on that GitHub issue if the "disable unzipping" checkbox is something you want.
