Send, receive, and automate secure file transfers with Amazon S3 buckets

The Amazon S3 connector allows you to integrate S3 buckets with Couchdrop and use those buckets as an endpoint for sending and receiving files. This connector acts as a virtual folder to directly access files within the S3 bucket in Couchdrop.

The S3 connector is compatible with all file transfer methods and tools including Shared Links, Mailboxes, Upload Portals, and automations.

Once connected, a folder for the Amazon S3 connection will be added to Couchdrop. From that folder, users can list objects in the designated bucket, as well as upload, download, and delete files according to the access permissions you configure. This allows internal and external teams to access files via SFTP, FTP, or any other supported protocol while being scoped to access and actions that you set.

Couchdrop connects to S3 buckets by sharing the S3 Access Key and Access Key Secret. Files are transferred through Couchdrop, but are not stored at rest on Couchdrop infrastructure.

• Use S3 buckets as a source or destination for secure file transfers
• List, Create, Modify, and Delete files in S3 buckets from Couchdrop
• Access S3 files via FTP, SFTP, FTPS, or through the Couchdrop interface
• Provide access to S3 files without provisioning a Microsoft user
• Apply granular folder permissions for different users
  
• Automate file transfers and file processing with S3 files

1. Create a new storage connection for Amazon S3 and choose a name for how the virtual folder will appear in Couchdrop, e.g., S3 Backup Bucket
2. Provide connection and bucket details
3. Provide a bucket name and storage region if needed (Optional)
4. Choose a location within the bucket to act as the root (Optional)
5. Add users to access the S3 bucket or configure transfers to/from the folder
