About Couchdrop
What is Couchdrop?
Couchdrop is a cloud-native managed file transfer (MFT) and SFTP platform that replaces complex infrastructure with a simple gateway. It connects your cloud storage (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, AWS S3, SharePoint, 50+ others) to standard file transfer protocols like SFTP, FTP, and AS2. You can send, receive, and automate file workflows — all without writing code or managing servers.
Who is it for?
Couchdrop is built for developers, IT teams, and businesses that need to exchange files securely with external partners or legacy systems. It is especially useful for B2B data exchange, EDI modernization, and automated workflows across multiple cloud providers. It is not designed for real-time file sync or as a primary cloud storage replacement.
Key capabilities
Couchdrop simplifies file transfer with features like automated sync, scheduling, webhook triggers, audit logs, and team permissions. It also includes Transfer Shield DLP for scanning and classifying files in motion. Your data stays in your environment — Couchdrop connects to your storage, never replaces it.
