Frequently asked questions

Do we need to set up or maintain an FTP or SFTP server?

No. Couchdrop provides fully managed cloud FTP and SFTP services, so there's no server infrastructure to deploy, patch, or maintain.

You can configure your file-transfer accounts, connect existing storage, and provide vendors with the connection details they need to start sending files.

Can Couchdrop receive files from our DMS and other dealership software?

Yes. Couchdrop provides managed FTP and SFTP destinations for receiving files from dealership software that supports these transfer methods. This includes supported file-based workflows involving platforms such as CDK Global, DealerSocket, Dealertrack, vAuto, DriveCentric, VinSolutions, and DealerCenter.

Available export and transfer options vary by provider, so check with your software vendor to confirm its supported connection methods.

Can we exchange files with suppliers, manufacturers, and other partners?

Yes. Couchdrop lets you securely send and receive files with suppliers, OEMs, finance providers, marketing agencies, and other third parties.

You can create separate accounts and folders for different partners, control what they can access, and automate file delivery to your existing storage.

Can we manage file transfers across multiple dealership locations?

Yes. Couchdrop gives dealership groups a centralized platform for managing file transfers across multiple locations, departments, and external partners.

You can organize transfers by dealership or business function, configure individual access permissions, and automatically route files to the appropriate storage locations.

Can we automate inventory feeds, reporting, and other recurring transfers?

Yes. Couchdrop supports scheduled and event-driven file automation. You can automatically receive, rename, organize, copy, and distribute files between supported systems and storage locations.

This is useful for recurring inventory feeds, dealership reporting, vendor exports, and file distribution across multiple locations.

How does Couchdrop help protect sensitive dealership data?

Couchdrop supports encrypted file transfers, access controls, activity logs, and other security features to help dealerships manage how sensitive information is exchanged with external parties.

These capabilities can support your dealership's security and compliance requirements, including obligations under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and FTC Safeguards Rule, as part of a broader compliance program.
