Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

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.

This has only ever worked in IE11 for me. No support for Chrome above v80 - we're on 83 (also Edge Chromium). Firefox version support is also way behind - 73 vs current version 76. From an enterprise-grade package used globally the update cadence is just lacklustre. Would never recommend this solution

Honestly this is absurd that you have to use an extension with full browser access in order to utilize Aspera. What about dark sites? IBM has hurt Aspera Faspex, not helped...

This "solution" simply does not work! Followed instructions ... run the software ... Launching IBM Aspera Connect... never ends ... FAIL ... Uninstall > Reinstalled > Try > Fail > Uninstall > Reinstalled > Try > Fail > ... repeat until insane ... good thing i do not have a deadline ... oh wait I DO and can't get data to my client ... going back to ftp ... old fashioned but works.

Extremely frustrating piece of software to support. We get calls from the same users over and over when trying to send something and getting the message that they need to the latest version but, it is installed and launched. Never could this to work with the previous version of Edge but just tried it with the chromium version of Edge. I can finally get it to work on the windows side but, not on the Mac side. Having Mac users use Chrome or Firefox for now.

It is useful but operational efficiency still needs to be approved. We are having a lot of issues managing control. Also, by default it gets access to modify all sites not just api.ibmaspera.com which smells a bit like suspicion. I am in the middle of opening a support case to get help on some usage issues..in the wait so far. But it looks very promising as it can allow a lot of producitivty -- no question

Before it worked perfectly. Now it's been a week that I can't download anything. It opens Aspera and then the pop-up window to confirm the transfer does not appear. I am getting desperate

It's not working. Could not be detected even if it's already installed every time!

It was good while it worked. All of a sudden it's not dowloading anything from the same site and the same PC I've been using it on for some months now. Tried everything I could think of. The site's tech support can't figure out the problem either. Too bad it went bad(((
