Frequently asked questions

Is Couchdrop a managed file transfer platform?
Couchdrop could be considered MFT as a service, but we like to think of ourselves as the cloud platform for secure file transfers because we’re so much different from the on-prem managed transfer platforms that are complicated, dated, and don’t connect to modern cloud applications.
Are cloud file transfer platforms secure?
There is a misconception that being in the cloud is less secure than an on-prem MFT solution. The reality is that the opposite is often true because the advantages of modern architecture like containerization and automatic patching can give greater protection, but only when done right.

Couchdrop is secure by design, meaning advanced features and protections have been built in since the beginning. It also means that as new security advancements and standards come up, the platform can quickly be adapted to meet the latest guidelines and have updates delivered automatically to all users.
How do I handle scaling and licenses?
One of the major benefits of Couchdrop’s modern cloud architecture is that it autoscales without you having to configure VMs, advanced settings, or anything else. Because there is no infrastructure, there also aren’t product licenses or downloads to worry about. Each plan has a limited number of users/connections and that’s it.
Can I have multiple connections using different protocols in one account?
Yes, Couchdrop lets you add transfers using different protocols and storage platforms in the same account. This means you can configure SFTP, AS2, and FTP transfers in the same place as automations and document collection & sharing, and manage everything in the same web interface.
What if I just need a simple SFTP server?
Then you are in the right place. Couchdrop at its core is a simple SFTP server.
