Type
Integrate Backblaze B2 with Couchdrop
How it works
The Backblaze B2 storage connector allows you to integrate Backblaze cloud storage buckets with Couchdrop and use them as endpoints for sending and receiving files. This connector acts as a virtual folder to directly access files within the Backblaze bucket in Couchdrop.
The Backblaze B2 connector is compatible with all file transfer methods and tools including Shared Links, Mailboxes, Upload Portals, and automations.
Once connected, a folder for the Backblaze 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 Backblaze buckets by using the Backblaze Master Key and providing access using the Key ID and the bucket’s Bucket ID. Files are transferred through Couchdrop, but are not stored at rest on Couchdrop infrastructure.
You can add multiple buckets by creating a separate connection for each bucket.
