Securely send, receive, and automate file transfers with Dropbox

The Dropbox connector allows you to integrate a Dropbox account with Couchdrop and use folders in Dropbox as a secure location for sending and receiving files. This connector acts as a virtual folder to directly access files within the storage account from within Couchdrop.

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

Once connected, a folder for the Dropbox connection will be added to Couchdrop. From that folder, users can list objects in the connected directories, 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 Dropbox via the Dropbox API. Files are transferred through Couchdrop, but are not stored at rest on Couchdrop’s infrastructure.

You can make connections to different roots or accounts by creating separate connections.

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

1. Create a new storage connection for Dropbox and provide a name for how the folder will appear in Couchdrop, e.g., Dropbox Marketing Files
2. Authorize the connection via OAuth.
3. Choose a folder within Dropbox to act as the root (Optional)
4. Add users to access the Dropbox folder or configure transfers to/from the folder
