SFTP to Digital Ocean Spaces connector
Move files to and from Digital Ocean Spaces using SFTP, FTP, and SCP
Couchdrop transforms your Digital Ocean Spaces into an accessible storage platform with SFTP, FTP, and SCP connectivity, enabling seamless file operations.
4 ways to move files to and from Digital Ocean Spaces
Whether you need manual transfers, self-service uploads, email-based collection, or fully automated workflows, Couchdrop provides a secure SFTP gateway into your Digital Ocean Spaces environment.
Direct SFTP/FTP access
Create SFTP user accounts that map directly to Digital Ocean Spaces folders. Partners connect using standard FTP 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.
Web upload portals
Generate secure, branded upload pages where external users can drag-and-drop files directly into Digital Ocean Spaces. 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.
Email inboxes
Create dedicated email addresses that automatically extract attachments and save them to Digital Ocean Spaces. Partners just email files like they always have—Couchdrop handles the rest. Set rules to route files based on sender, subject, or attachment type.
Automated transfers
Set up scheduled or triggered file movements between Digital Ocean Spaces and any SFTP endpoint. Monitor Digital Ocean Spaces folders and automatically send new files to partners, or pull files from external servers into Digital Ocean Spaces. 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 Digital Ocean Spaces.
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 Digital Ocean Spaces folders. They upload purchase orders, you send back confirmations—all automated and tracked.
Automated report distribution
Watch your Digital Ocean Spaces folders for new reports and automatically send them to stakeholders via SFTP. When your BI tool drops a report in your Digital Ocean Spaces, 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 Digital Ocean Spaces folder. No more chasing documents or managing shared inboxes.
Legacy system integration
Connect old systems that only speak FTP directly to your Digital Ocean Spaces. 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 Digital Ocean Spaces. 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 Digital Ocean Spaces 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 Digital Ocean Spaces 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 Digital Ocean Spaces to external SFTP storage or cloud archives. Or reverse it—archive old files from network drives into your Digital Ocean Spaces for better governance. Set retention rules and forget about it.
