“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.”

Install the Couchdrop agent to add cloud connectivity to your server

By installing the low-resource Couchdrop agent directly on the server, you can connect your file server to Couchdrop’s infrastructure as a secure transfer endpoint.

SFTP to OSX Servers

Connect OSX Servers to your Couchdrop cloud SFTP server to securely transfer files from any system directly to your server. External parties can then connect to the server using SFTP clients like FileZilla, Cyberduck, or WinSCP with granular permissions and access levels to download and/or upload files directly to a folder on your server.

Secure web portal for document collection to OSX Servers

Generate secure, branded web portals where users can securely upload files directly to a directory on your server without access to the server itself. Accept multiple files and add optional form fields to collect additional metadata and create individual subfolders for each submission to customize how files arrive.

Extract and save email attachments to OSX Servers

Create dedicated email addresses that automatically extract and save email attachments to a folder on the OSX Server. Update the email recipient to the mailbox address in your or your partners’ automated systems to automatically email files to the server.

Share files from an OSX Server with other users

Share files from the server without sharing server access. Share the files directly or upload files to a secure temporary location in hosted storage where external parties can download them using a secure sharing link. Add optional security settings like password protection and one-time usage for further protection.

Frequently asked questions

What are the basic requirements to run Couchdrop’s OSX Server connector?

The basic requirements to run Couchdrop’s OSX Server connector are that the connector needs to be able to be installed from an administrator account and have the ability for remote access via RDP or a suitable VM.

For connections involving your own infrastructure, you’ll also need to have a reliable internet connection with enough bandwidth to handle your file transfers.

What protocols does the OSX Server connector support?

Couchdrop’s OSX Server connector supports the same protocols as any other platform. Once you install the agent on the file server, you can transfer files via FTP/S, SFTP, AS2, or S3.

Can Couchdrop access files on NAS devices?

Yes, Couchdrop can access files on NAS devices, as long as the devices are on the same network as the server that has the file server agent installed.

Is it possible to use the OSX Server connector with a proxy configuration?

Yes, it is possible to use Couchdrop’s OSX Server connector with a proxy configuration. However, it requires some manual configuration as detailed in Proxy Configuration.

Am I able to let external users access files remotely on my on-prem file server?

Yes, letting external users access files remotely that are on your on-prem file server is a primary use case for the OSX Connector. You can set a specific directory on the server as the root and then add external users with granular access controls to allow them to SFTP into the directory.
