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 the Drive installer:

    AsperaDrive-version.msi

  2. Install Drive by running AsperaDrive-version.exe. Follow the onscreen instructions.
    Note: During installation, the installer closes Windows Explorer.
    You can select the checkbox in the setup wizard to start Drive automatically after installation, or you can start it manually from the Windows Start menu. When Drive is running, the Drive icon appears in the system tray.
  3. To begin using Drive, use the wizard's onscreen instructions to add 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
