Quick start: Request a file

To ask another person to send you files and folders, send a submission link. The submission link allows them to send you a digital package using IBM Aspera high-speed transfer technology.

When your recipient clicks the link, Aspera on Cloud opens a web portal that allows your recipient to select content to send to you. The files and folders they send arrive to your inbox in a digital package.

To request files and folders using a submission link, do the following:

  1. In your Packages app, click My inbox.
  2. Click Manage submission link.

    You can create a New link or send an existing link.

  3. Click the Copy icon and send the link to your recipients according to your local site practice.

For details on managing submission links, including setting expiration dates, see the articles in Request files and folders.
