Installing Drive

To install Drive, follow the instructions in this section. To upgrade an existing Drive installation, see Upgrading Drive.

Before installing Drive, obtain from your system administrator the URL and username/password credentials for at least one transfer server for use with Drive.

  1. Download and open the Drive disk image:

    AsperaDrive-version.dmg

  2. After you have agreed to the license agreement, the Drive application appears in a Finder window. Drag-and-drop the Drive application to the desired location (such as the desktop or the Applications folder).
  3. If Drive still appears as a device in your Finder window, eject it.
  4. To begin using Drive, go to where you placed the application and double-click it.
    A wizard opens, for adding an account for use with an Aspera transfer server.

    For instructions on using the wizard, see the sections in this guide that describe adding and modifying accounts. The Drive functions available to you depend on the type of server you connect to. See
