“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.”

Connect to Google Drive using SFTP

Create SFTP user accounts that map directly to Google Drive 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 Google Drive via web portal

Generate secure, branded upload pages where external users can drag-and-drop files directly into Google Drive. 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 Google Drive

Create dedicated email addresses that automatically extract attachments and save them to Google Drive. 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 Google Drive transfers

Set up scheduled or triggered file movements between Google Drive and any SFTP endpoint. Monitor Google Drive folders and automatically send new files to partners, or pull files from external servers into Google Drive. Build complex workflows with file processing, routing, and notifications—all without writing code.
