A cloud SFTP service with broad integrations, controls, and workflow automation.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Couchdrop is a cloud-based SFTP, FTP/FTPS, and managed file-transfer platform for organizations exchanging files with customers, partners, storage systems, and business applications. It is designed for small teams through enterprises that want hosted transfer infrastructure rather than maintaining their own SFTP server. Access is available through the web and API, with browser-based uploads, shared-link transfers, and support for AS2, SCP, HTTPS, and WebDAV.
Pricing starts with Couchdrop Link at $50 per month, including one SFTP/FTP user, one mailbox, and up to 10GB of data per month. Couchdrop Essentials supports up to 10 external users or endpoints, 1TB of transfer per month, and unlimited concurrent connections. Couchdrop Business raises that to up to 100 external users or endpoints and 5TB of transfer per month, also with unlimited concurrent connections. Couchdrop Enterprise supports 100+ external users or endpoints and adds dedicated infrastructure, premium support availability, custom data retention policies, and custom SLAs. A 14-day trial is available without a credit card.
The product’s main advantage is its fit across storage, business applications, and automation services. Integrations include Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, Google Drive, Dropbox, SharePoint, Egnyte, Box.com, NetSuite, Workato, Boomi, Celigo, Zapier, Make.com, and Snowflake. Folder-level permissions, user root-folder isolation, SAML 2.0 SSO, SCIM provisioning, searchable and exportable audit logs, SIEM streaming, and a management API support controlled administration. Couchdrop is a strong choice for teams needing hosted SFTP with varied integrations and automation; organizations seeking a free plan or fully published pricing across tiers should consider alternatives.
