Common use cases

From vendor invoices to automated reports, here's how some organizations are using Couchdrop with Azure Blob/File Storage.

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 Azure Blob/File Storage folders. They upload purchase orders, you send back confirmations—all automated and tracked.

Automated report distribution

Watch your Azure Blob/File Storage folders for new reports and automatically send them to stakeholders via SFTP. When your BI tool drops a report in your Azure Blob/File Storage, 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 Azure Blob/File Storage folder. No more chasing documents or managing shared inboxes.

Legacy system integration

Connect old systems that only speak FTP directly to your Azure Blob/File Storage. 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 Azure Blob/File Storage. 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 Azure Blob/File Storage 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 Azure Blob/File Storage 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 Azure Blob/File Storage to external SFTP storage or cloud archives. Or reverse it—archive old files from network drives into your Azure Blob/File Storage for better governance. Set retention rules and forget about it.
