Thanks for the clarification on requirements, makes sense.
I haven’t used git-lfs directly before, but I do use dvc actively. I definitely see what you mean by versioning is only one part of dvc. I’ve come to appreciate versioning with it a lot more than I thought I would, and the simplicity of being able to use it with S3 / external data stores easily, which would be the case here as well. On the negative side, it wouldn’t have as visibility into the files that are already uploaded or their sizes (as in the EsperBERTo example image above).
Good to know it is released, looking forward to trying it out soon !
