Modifying a Drive Account for Aspera Faspex

You can modify the following aspects of a package transfer account: To do this, use Drive's Preferences dialog.
  1. With Drive running, click its icon in the menu bar, and select Preferences.
  2. Select the Accounts pane.
  3. From the list of accounts, select the Aspera Faspex account to modify.
    The values for the server appear on the right.
  4. On the Services pane, click Faspex packages: Settings.
    The Faspex Packages dialog appears.
  5. Modify the fields as needed:
    Field Description
    Download received packages to Specify the folder into which to download packages.

    You can download packages to the default folder: /Users/macUsername/Documents/driveAccountName, or you can click Change to provide a different folder name.
    Overwrite packages that have the same title When a received package has the same title as an existing package, Drive can either reuse the same folder (overwriting the existing package), or create a new folder for the received package.

    If you do not select this check box, Drive will create a new folder for the new package, so that the existing one is not overwritten. (By default, this check box is not selected.)

    For example, if you have already downloaded a package with a title of My_Files, and then download another package with the same title, the files will be placed in My_Files(2).

    If you select this check box, Drive will place the new package into the existing My_Files folder instead of creating a new My_Files(2) folder. If My_Files already contains a file with the same filename, the existing file will be overwritten.
    Do not download packages sent by me If this field is selected, packages that you send to yourself or to work groups that you belong to are not downloaded. (By default, it is selected.)

    If this field is not selected, packages that you send to yourself or to work groups that you belong to are downloaded.

    For example, if this field displays 05/06/2014, Drive downloads any packages that have arrived since May 6, 2014.

    Note: If you have already started the Faspex service, this field is not configurable.
