You can use Drive in conjunction with IBM Aspera Files, a SaaS platform
for file transfer and collaboration. When Files is integrated into Drive, you can do the
following:
- See all your Files workspaces, files, and packages (sent, received, and archived) in a
single view in the file browser.
- Share content with members of your organization.
- See previews of image files.
- Check in and check out files for collaboration with a team.
- Transfer files and folders between your client computer and the server
using the Windows Explorer file browser interface, with the following standard Windows
Explorer functions:
- browsing files and folders
- transferring files to and from your transfer account
- drag-and-drop
1
- creating new folders
- copy-and-paste
Note: Drive does not currently support adding metadata to packages that it sends. Therefore, ensure
that Files is not configured to have any required metadata fields when sending packages. You
can configure optional metadata fields, but Drive will ignore them.
For detailed information on using Files, see the Help Center within the Files application.
