How does Couchdrop work with Dropbox
Couchdrop adds SFTP functionality to Dropbox, allowing you to give users secure SFTP access to specific Dropbox folders and directories. This enables users to securely upload or download files from Dropbox directly using standard SFTP clients, without having to share Dropbox credentials or use the Dropbox web interface.
With Couchdrop's granular permission controls, you can easily manage user access to Dropbox folders and directories. Couchdrop handles all the underlying integration, security, and scalability, making SFTP to Dropbox simple and reliable.
