Sync with Aspera on Cloud

If you are using Aspera Drive with Aspera on Cloud, Drive can synchronize files and folders automatically between the remote server and the local computer.

Note: You cannot synchronize with an Aspera on Cloud folder if it resides on an AoCts (Aspera on Cloud transfer service) node. For AoCts nodes, sync is not supported. If you are not sure whether the node you plan to use is an AoCts node, check with the AoC admin for your organization.
Before you begin, ensure that you have the following in place:
  • Drive account configuration:

    You must have Drive accounts that can synchronize content with your Aspera on Cloud organization.

    For more information, see Adding a Drive Account for Aspera on Cloud.

  • Sync configuration in Drive and in Aspera on Cloud:

    Pay close attention to the configuration of the sync relationship. In all cases, the settings in Aspera on Cloud override the settings locally in Drive. Note that if your Aspera on Cloud transfer server nodes are not correctly configured, you may experience sync problems between Aspera on Cloud and Drive users.

    For detailed information, see the IBM Aspera High-Speed Transfer Server documentation.
