Thank you for clarifying the parent-child thing. When i say accessing, it means i want to use the data for training(without actually getting a local copy of it ). The whole dataset(both large and small) could be created and uploaded by admin. As a researcher, i normally work with a smaller dataset similar to what SucculentBeetle7 has stated. You should also note that this whole training happens in a remote server. So this situation applies https://clear.ml/docs/latest/docs/getting_started/ds/best_practices#train-remotely .
