I just wanted to clarify the best way to access the latest release of SoilGrids (5 Dec 2019). Are the datasets for clay (CLYPPT)at: https://files.isric.org/soilgrids/data/recent/ the same as https://files.isric.org/soilgrids/data/preview/clay/? Or are these the older versions?
No, they are different versions at this stage. In the recent
folder is the most recent release, dating back to early 2017. In the preview
folder are the grids released in December of 2019.
There are more details in the README files:
data/README.md - describes the content of each data folder.
recent/README.md - notes for the 2017 release.
preview/README.md - notes for the 2019 preview.

Thanks for this information. Do you have any recommendations on the fastest way to get these layers into GEE (loaded as Geotiffs) or if anyone has already loaded it? – Monica Noon Mar 19 '20 at 15:53
