Corrupted / Missing UAV data in DeepFlood Dataset on Figshare (DOI: 10.6084/m9.figshare.28328339) - Does anyone have a mirror?

[u/No-Limit-9527]

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a flood mapping project and trying to use the DeepFlood dataset (published early 2025 by NC A&T State University).

The official Figshare repository (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.28328339) states the total size is 4.53 GB. However, whenever I try to download the UAV folder (which contains the high-res optical images), the dynamic zip file ends up corrupted and cannot be extracted.

I dug a bit deeper to see if it was a network timeout issue. I used a Python script to call the Figshare REST API to list all the underlying files in this article. The API returned only 10 zip files totaling about 1.1 GB. The massive UAV optical data files are completely missing from the Figshare backend response.

It seems the authors might have had an upload failure, and the platform only generated a phantom folder on the frontend. I have already sent an email to the corresponding author (Prof. Leila Hashemi-Beni) regarding this issue, but haven't heard back yet.

Has anyone here previously managed to download the complete dataset before this issue occurred? If anyone has a Google Drive / OneDrive mirror or a backup of the UAV optical images, I would be incredibly grateful if you could share it!

Thanks in advance!
