Mailboxes
Automatically save email attachments to your cloud storage
Mailboxes provide dedicated email addresses that automatically save attachments directly to your cloud storage — eliminating manual downloading and organizing while creating a streamlined process for both automated systems and people to share files with you.
Thousands of private and public sector organisations eliminate manual attachment handling with Couchdrop
Process email attachments automatically
Mailboxes automatically capture email attachments and move them directly to your storage with intelligent routing and zero human intervention
Transfer email attachments straight to your storage
Capture attachments from ERP systems, financial platforms, and automated reports that would otherwise remain trapped in email inboxes. Mailboxes automatically extract and route files to exactly where they belong in your storage.
Connect legacy systems to modern cloud storage
Legacy applications that can only send attachments via email can now effectively deliver files directly to your cloud storage. Transform email-based workflows without modifying source systems or changing how people work.
Eliminate the "save-and-upload" bottleneck
Avoid needing to manually check emails, download attachments, rename files, and upload them to storage. Mailboxes perform these tasks automatically, 24/7, with consistent precision and complete audit trails.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can send emails to my mailboxes?
You can specify allowed senders by configuring individual email addresses or entire domains that are permitted to send attachments to your mailbox. This helps prevent unauthorized use and reduces spam.
Can I have multiple email inboxes?
Yes, you can create multiple mailboxes, each connected to different storage locations or with different configurations for various departments, projects, or workflows.
Can mailboxes expire automatically?
Yes, you can set an expiration date for any mailbox, after which it will no longer accept attachments. This is useful for time-limited projects or to ensure periodic review of your active mailboxes.
How do I know when attachments arrive?
You can configure email alerts to notify you when attachments are successfully processed or when errors occur. By default, the mailbox creator receives notifications, but you can customize recipients for different alert types.
Is there an attachment size limit?
Email Mailboxes can handle attachments up to 25MB in size. For larger files, we recommend using Couchdrop Upload Links or SFTP endpoints, which can handle files up to 20GB (and more for Enterprise plans).
What happens to non-attachment emails?
The system will only extract and save attachments. The email body and other content are not stored unless configured otherwise.
