Hi, 

My five cents is, that it really depends on the characteristics of your data 
(e.g. size) and the goal you try to achieve by versioning your data. 

Examples:

Size: If e.g. the datasets are "small", they can easily be handled by git. For 
larger datasets, it depends on what is important to you. E.g. a shared network 
file system with proper backup and well-defined naming scheme can be totally 
fine in some cases, while a proper data repository issuing DOIs or similar is 
needed in other cases. If synchronization speed, as well as optimized storage, 
is important, something like dat or IPFS is advisable.

Purpose: Similarly, if your goal is to share data with collaborators, then a 
simple HTTPS link is the easiest (hosted on e.g. GitHub, AWS, or a data 
repository). 

Cheers,
Lars
