Viewing cardiomyocyte scRNAseq data without full download?

Helping a colleague work with cardiomyocyte scRNAseq data, but the full quilt download is over 400GB. It's way too big for her current setup. Are there any online viewers or smaller subsets available that still include counts and gene expression values? I found some CSVs, but the ones I checked didn't have the counts. Maybe I'm grabbing the wrong files?
 
For big scRNAseq datasets, CELLxGENE and UCSC Cell Browser are super helpful, they let you explore the data online without downloading the whole thing. You can also grab smaller subsets that still include counts and expression values, which saves a ton o space.
 
Yeah, 400GB is massive to handle locally. Some datasets have web-based portals or genome browser viewers where you can explore expression without full download...also, many projects release smaller processed subsets with counts included, maybe check GEO or Single Cell Portal?
