“Couchdrop is very easy to setup and maintain. The solution just works. Once you hooked up your cloud storage and mounted it to an endpoint, all you need to do is give access to your SFTP users within the interface. That's it. You're done.”

The secure cloud file transfer solution for GCS

Couchdrop works as a secure conduit for directly transferring files to and from GCS buckets with no temporary storage layer. Use any file transfer method to securely move files in and out of Google Cloud Storage at will.

SFTP to Google Cloud Storage

Connect Google Cloud Storage to your Couchdrop cloud SFTP server to securely transfer files from any system directly into a GCS bucket. External parties can then connect to the GCS bucket using SFTP clients like FileZilla, Cyberduck, or WinSCP with granular permissions and access levels to download and/or upload files directly to a specified bucket.
