Overview

Product summary

This extension enables the use of IBM Aspera Connect with Chrome. This extension requires the IBM Aspera Connect application, version 3.9.0 or newer.

The purpose of this extension and the corresponding desktop application is to move large files FAST from your computer to an IBM Aspera server.

You need to have an account on an Aspera server to move files.

FASP is the protocol used to move files much faster than is possible over TCP/IP. The application has to be where the network is.

Privacy statement: This extension is activated only by websites that integrate IBM Aspera to transfer files. This extension does not read or store any personal information.

Chrome-to-desktop native messaging bridge for IBM Aspera high-speed file transfers

Enables web pages that integrate IBM Aspera's FASP protocol to communicate with the locally installed IBM Aspera Connect desktop application, allowing ultra-fast large file transfers that exceed TCP/IP speed limits

1. User installs IBM Aspera Connect desktop app (required dependency). 2. User installs this Chrome extension. 3. When visiting a website that integrates IBM Aspera, the content script (asperaweb.js) listens for 'AsperaConnectCheck' events. 4. The extension establishes a native messaging channel to the desktop app via background.js. 5. Web pages send transfer requests through the extension to the desktop app, which handles the actual high-speed FASP file transfer. 6. The extension relays responses back to the web page.

Target users: Users of IBM Aspera-enabled websites for large file transfers / Enterprise users transferring large files to/from Aspera servers / Media, entertainment, and data-intensive industry professionals

Cannot confirm whether some Aspera servers might allow anonymous/limited transfers without an account
IBM Aspera as a product likely has commercial licensing on the server side, but the extension itself has no paid features

Monetization

No paid features detected

The extension itself contains no billing, subscription, payment UI, or feature gating. All keyword hits for 'pro' are false positives (prototype, property, process). IBM Aspera is a commercial product with paid server-side licensing, but the extension does not gate any features based on payment.

Confidence: 95
Payment platform: --
Source: AI / High
Login required: Yes
Reason: The extension itself implements no login UI, but the store description explicitly states: 'You need to have an account on an Aspera server to move files.' Authentication occurs at the destination Aspera server, not within the extension. The extension is only activated by websites that integrate IBM Aspera for file transfers.
