Send, receive, and automate secure file transfers with Google Drive

The Google Drive connector allows you to integrate Google Drive with Couchdrop and use personal or shared drives as a secure location for sending and receiving files. This connector acts as a virtual folder to directly access files within the Google Drive from within Couchdrop.

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

Once connected, a folder for the Google Drive connection will be added to Couchdrop. From that folder, users can list objects in the connected drives, 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 Google Drive over Google’s 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 Google Drives as a source or destination for secure file transfers
• List, Create, Modify, and Delete files and folders in Google from Couchdrop
• Access Google Drive files via FTP, SFTP, FTPS, or through the Couchdrop interface
• Provide access to Google Drive files without provisioning a Google user
• Apply granular folder permissions for different users
• Automate file transfers and file processing with Google Drive

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