Introduction

IBM Aspera Drive is a data transfer client application that you run on your desktop or mobile device, to move files or folders quickly and securely through your Aspera transfer server.

When Drive is connected to an IBM Aspera Shares transfer server, you can perform the following tasks:
  • Browse and manage the file systems on the transfer server.
  • Transfer files and folders to and from the transfer server.
  • Synchronize local folders with folders on the transfer server, in both directions.
When Drive is connected to an IBM Aspera Faspex transfer server, you can perform the following tasks:
  • Send packages to Faspex users and workgroups.
  • Automatically download packages as they are received.
  • See into Faspex packages from within the file browser.
When Drive is connected to the IBM Aspera Files SaaS platform, you can perform the following tasks:
  • Browse the contents of a Files workspace from the file browser.
  • Transfer files and packages from within the same browser view.
  • See a preview "thumbnail" of image files.

You can also connect Drive directly to a server where only IBM Aspera Enterprise Server is running. For more information on this configuration, contact Aspera Technical Support.
