Working with IBM Aspera on Cloud

You can use Connect along with IBM Aspera on Cloud, a SaaS platform for file transfer and collaboration.

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

  • 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.
  • See previews of image files.
  • Transfer files and folders between your client computer and the server that uses the Windows Explorer file browser interface, with these 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: Connect does not currently support adding metadata to packages when sending to a user, but you can send metadata to an Aspera on Cloud inbox.

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

1 You might not download an entire shared folder by drag-and-drop. Instead, select contents of the folder to download.
