Amazon S3 connector
Transfer files to and from Amazon S3 using SFTP, FTP, and SCP
Couchdrop enables direct SFTP, FTP, and SCP access to your Amazon S3 buckets, providing simplified file management and automated transfer workflows.
4 ways to move files to and from Amazon S3
Whether you need to support manual file transfers, self-service uploads, email-based collection, or fully automated SFTP workflows, Couchdrop provides a secure gateway into your Amazon S3 environment.
Connect to Amazon S3 using SFTP
Create SFTP user accounts that map directly to Amazon S3 folders. Partners connect using standard SFTP/FTP protocols, and clients like FileZilla or WinSCP, to upload and download files. You control permissions down to the folder level, while they use the tools they already know.
Upload files into Amazon S3 via web portal
Generate secure, branded upload pages where external users can drag-and-drop files directly into Amazon S3. No accounts or software needed—just send them a link. Perfect for collecting documents from clients, vendors, or anyone who needs to send you files occasionally.
Save email attachments to Amazon S3
Create dedicated email addresses that automatically extract attachments and save them to Amazon S3. Partners just email files like they always have—Couchdrop handles the rest. Set rules to route files based on sender, subject, or attachment type.
Automate Amazon S3 transfers
Set up scheduled or triggered file movements between Amazon S3 and any SFTP endpoint. Monitor Amazon S3 folders and automatically send new files to partners, or pull files from external servers into Amazon S3. Build complex workflows with file processing, routing, and notifications—all without writing code.

Common use cases
From vendor invoices to automated reports, here's how some organizations are using Couchdrop with Amazon S3.
B2B file exchange
Exchange files with partners, suppliers, and customers using their preferred FTP clients. Give each partner their own SFTP account with access to specific your Amazon S3 folders. They upload purchase orders, you send back confirmations—all automated and tracked.
Automated report distribution
Watch your Amazon S3 folders for new reports and automatically send them to stakeholders via SFTP. When your BI tool drops a report in your Amazon S3, Couchdrop picks it up and delivers it to partner servers, data warehouses, or analytics platforms.
Vendor document collection
Create dedicated email addresses or upload portals for each vendor. Attachments sent to your Couchdrop Mailbox automatically land in the correct Amazon S3 folder. No more chasing documents or managing shared inboxes.
Legacy system integration
Connect old systems that only speak FTP directly to your Amazon S3. Your 20-year-old ERP can finally talk to the cloud. Schedule nightly exports, hourly syncs, or real-time transfers without touching legacy code.
Client deliverable portals
Give clients secure SFTP access to their project folders in your Amazon S3. They download deliverables on their schedule, upload feedback and approvals. You maintain one source of truth while they use familiar tools.
Multi-site data consolidation
Collect files from branch offices, retail locations, or field sites into centralized your Amazon S3 libraries. Each location uploads to their folder via FTP, and you can trigger Power Automate flows for processing.
Regulatory submission workflows
Automate compliance reporting by scheduling transfers from your Amazon S3 to regulatory bodies' SFTP servers. Set up once, never miss a deadline. Full audit trails satisfy compliance requirements.
Backup and archive transfers
Schedule nightly backups from your Amazon S3 to external SFTP storage or cloud archives. Or reverse it—archive old files from network drives into your Amazon S3 for better governance. Set retention rules and forget about it.
