Drive with Aspera on Cloud

You can use Drive in conjunction with IBM Aspera on Cloud, a SaaS platform for file transfer and collaboration.

When Aspera on Cloud is integrated into Drive, you can do the following:

  • See all your Aspera on Cloud workspaces, files, and packages (sent, received, and archived) in a single view in the file browser.
  • Share content with members of your organization.
  • Send packages to an Aspera on Cloud inbox.
Note: Drive does not currently support adding metadata to packages that it sends. Therefore, ensure that Aspera on Cloud is not configured to have any required metadata fields when sending packages. You can configure optional metadata fields, but Drive will ignore them.

Seeing into Your Aspera on Cloud Workspace

To view the contents of a location in Aspera on Cloud, you can use any of these interfaces:
  • Aspera on Cloud itself (in a web browser)
  • Drive's Remote View

For detailed information on using Aspera on Cloud, see the Help Center within the Aspera on Cloud application.
