The secure cloud file transfer solution for S3-compatible storage systems

Couchdrop works as a secure conduit for directly transferring files to and from any storage compatible with S3 without a temporary storage layer. Use any method from the file transfer toolbox to securely transfer files into and out of your S3-compatible storage at will.

SFTP to S3-compatible storage

Connect the S3-compatible storage account to your Couchdrop cloud SFTP server to securely transfer files from any system directly into the S3-compatible storage platform. External parties can then connect to the platform using SFTP clients like FileZilla, Cyberduck, or WinSCP with granular permissions and access levels to download and/or upload files directly to a specific bucket.

Frequently asked questions

How do you connect S3-compatible storage to Couchdrop?

Any S3-compatible storage platform that isn’t a named integration is connected as a Storage Integration in Couchdrop under the S3 compatible connector.

Which platforms are supported by Couchdrop’s S3 compatible connector?

Any S3-compatible storage that doesn’t have a separate named connector can use Couchdrop’s S3 compatible connector as long as it has a few things.

You’ll need to include an Endpoint URL, Access Key, and Access Key Secret at a minimum, and may need to specify a bucket name and bucket region to make a successful connection using the S3 compatible storage connector.

Can I use Couchdrop’s S3 compatible connector instead of the dedicated named connector?

While technically you can likely connect to our other S3 storage types using this connector, we recommend using the native connector whenever possible, as it specifies the required fields and may pull data from the platform such as region names without having to retrieve the information manually.

Am I able to add multiple different S3-compatible platforms to my account?

Yes, you can use the S3 compatible connector to add multiple connections. These connections can be to the same or different platforms. Each connection counts as an endpoint, and you can add as many endpoints as your plan allows.
