Field Description Download received packages to Specify the folder where downloaded packages will be saved. You can download packages to the default folder: C:\Users\windowsUsername\Aspera Drive\driveAccountName Inbox, 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 select this check box, packages with the same name as an already existing downloaded package will be downloaded into the existing folder, overwriting the older 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. 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).By default, this check box is not selected.
Do not download packages sent by me If this check box is selected, packages that you send to yourself or to work groups that you belong to are not downloaded. If this check box is not selected, packages that you send to yourself or to work groups that you belong to are downloaded. (By default, it is not selected.)
