The staff Victor Ballesteros refuses to give me the access to the full dataset #52

I have requested access to the full dataset. However, here is the reply:

"Thanks for inquiring about Unsplash Full Dataset. I would recommend you to download the Lite Dataset before using the Full one. The Lite Dataset is meant to be open and allow anyone to experiment. If you believe your experiment or research would need the whole 2M+ images, we are happy to give you access to it then. The Full Dataset is meant for artificial intelligence and machine learning research mostly when the Lite Dataset is not sufficient enough."

After I received this message, I have written multiple emails to further request access to the full dataset. However, I got no response from Victor Ballesteros. I do not understand why access to the full dataset is so difficult to obtain. I doubt whether Unsplash is truly willing to let others use their full dataset.

I have encountered the exact same problem, same reply e-mail with no reply afterwards. Is there any way Unsplash team can help resolve this, would very much appreciate.

@yclliu sorry about that — we've followed up with the team to look into this. They should be messaging you.

@jamesli1618 sorry about this — I quickly looked into this but wasn't able to find your application — what email is it under?
