Overview

What it is

Couchdrop is the modern SFTP platform for b2b file transfers, file-based automation, and data flows – simple, secure, and built for the cloud. Supporting direct SFTP, FTP/S, and AS2 transfers between modern cloud storage platforms, Couchdrop is SOC2 certified and HIPAA ready with configurable security settings, comprehensive auditing, and granular access controls, all managed through an intuitive web interface.

Intent

I need it when

Maintain compliance and audit trails for regulated file transfers in healthcare, finance, or supply chain

Couchdrop offers SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance with comprehensive audit logging, malware scanning, data loss prevention (Transfer Shield), access controls, SSO/SAML, and SIEM integrations (Splunk, Datadog, Microsoft Sentinel) for regulatory requirements.

Automate recurring file transfer workflows between business systems and partners

Couchdrop's visual automation builder enables multi-step file transfer workflows without code, including scheduling, compression, encryption, and transformation. Workflows integrate 50+ platforms including SharePoint, S3, Dropbox, NetSuite, and Workday.

Modernize legacy EDI and B2B file exchange processes without replacing existing systems

Couchdrop supports AS2 for EDI data transfer and acts as a modern SFTP front-end for legacy systems. It bridges older tech stacks dependent on SFTP with newer real-time event-based platforms, eliminating need to manage servers or SSH keys.

Securely send and receive files with external partners and business contacts

Couchdrop provides multiple secure file transfer methods including SFTP, FTP, shared links, upload portals, and email inboxes. Users can request files via upload links, share files via secure links, and receive files through multiple protocols without managing infrastructure.

Control where sensitive data is stored and processed during file transfers

Couchdrop connects to user-owned cloud storage (SharePoint, S3, Google Drive, Dropbox) instead of storing files centrally. Direct streaming transfers keep data in user's environment with granular access controls, folder-level permissions, and data sovereignty options.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires on-premises-only deployment with no cloud infrastructure; Couchdrop is cloud-native SaaS
  • Organization needs legacy FTP-only support without SFTP, AS2, or modern protocols
  • User requires real-time file synchronization across multiple endpoints; Couchdrop is transfer and automation-focused, not sync
  • Budget is extremely constrained and free tier alone is insufficient; paid plans required for production use
  • User needs direct file storage without integration to external cloud storage; Couchdrop connects to existing storage rather than replacing it
