Couchdrop has native integrations with over 30 storage platforms and streams files directly between endpoints without storing the files at any point. This provides a key advantage for organizations that want enhanced security, privacy, or strict compliance requirements.
Along with native storage integrations, all Couchdrop plans include a set amount of hosted storage. Using hosted storage is optional, and many organizations prefer using their existing platforms for greater data control.
How storage integrations work
When you connect a storage platform to Couchdrop, it appears as a folder in Couchdrop's file system. These are virtual folders that work as a visualization of the contents of your external platform where the data resides.
This means you can browse folders from multiple storage providers in one centralized location and easily send files between connected storage directly in Couchdrop.
Because the folders are a representation of other platforms, your files remain governed by the permissions, retention policies, and compliance controls already in place on the storage platform itself. Couchdrop adds the capability to securely send and receive files using these platforms.
You can connect multiple storage platforms simultaneously, and connect the same platform multiple times for different users to have different root folders. Each connection appears as an independent folder in the virtual file system.
