How it works
A simple and secure approach to b2b file sharing
Share files with users outside your organization with a unique link directly to your files.

Share files with full control
Select the specific files or folders you want to share and create links directly to that location, no matter which platform they’re stored in.
- Link to any storage integration, including both on-prem and cloud folders
- Share individual files or full directories
- No Couchdrop account required for shared link recipients
Configure additional security
Use optional security controls to add more protection and ensure only the right people can access your files.
- Password-protect access to view and download files
- Set optional link expiration dates and one-time use restrictions
- Add email allow list to restrict access to specific emails


Automate file actions upon download
Automations can be activated when someone accesses and downloads files using a sharing link.
- Use files downloaded from download portals to trigger File Actions
- Automatically move, rename, or delete files after a download event
- Send notifications to custom email lists
Share files from any storage platform without moving files or sharing storage account access

“Couchdrop is very easy to setup and maintain. The solution just works. Once you hooked up your cloud storage and mounted it to an endpoint, all you need to do is give access to your SFTP users within the interface. That's it. You're done.”
“Couchdrop takes a legacy method of transfering files and puts a modern spin on it. I love how I can literally put an SFTP front end on basically ANY cloud storage platform. ”
“Couchdrop gives us the flexibility to use whatever back-end storage provider that we want. For example, we are using an S3-based service with immutability turned on, so we can support legacy protocols with the latest in data protection.”
“Couchdrop allows our newer tech stack based on real-time events to work with our customer's older tech stacks that are dependent on SFTP. Additionally, it's great that I don't have to manage an SFTP server, SSH keys, and training of our teams to interact with data we receive from our customers.”
