For those using data repositories (e.g. Dryad, Zenodo, OSF, etc), do you have a preferred repository or do you change repositories depending on the use case?

If the latter, what factors dictate where you choose to share your data?

@tnarock For me, OSF is easier to navigate than Zenodo, but it is not a full-fledged repository. At least, it's what I heard some argue because one cannot lock in a repo on OSF (this convinced me). Zenodo allows one to lock in repos and has a good GUI.
I have been using Dataverse too. I am not sure whether one can lock in repos there, but I guess you can

@ingorohlfing thanks for the feedback. I hadn't realized OSF lacked some of the versioning features of Zenodo. How are you liking Dataverse?

@tnarock I just used it again after a long time and I liked it. The interface is intuitive and it is fast. What I did not like: I uploaded the repo files with a folder structure that was not mirrored on Dataverse. In order to preserve the folder structure and reproducibility, for each file one has to specify the folder to which it belongs (alternative explanation is I mismanaged the file upload)
