Turn your Egnyte file storage into cloud S/FTP servers

How does Couchdrop work with Egnyte

Couchdrop adds SFTP, FTP, SCP, and Rsync functionality to Egnyte, allowing you to give users secure access to specific Egnyte folders and files. This enables users to securely upload or download files from Egnyte directly using standard file transfer clients, without having to share Egnyte credentials or use the Egnyte web interface.

With granular permission controls, you can easily manage user access to Egnyte folders and files. You can even set specific folders as root directories using the Sub Path option. Couchdrop handles all the underlying integration, security, and scalability, making file transfers to and from Egnyte simple and reliable.

Advanced Egnyte SFTP Integration

Couchdrop offers advanced features for Egnyte integration:

• Custom Mount Paths: Set a specific mount path for your Egnyte within Couchdrop's virtual file system.
• Sub Path Access: Access specific subfolders within your Egnyte as the root directory in Couchdrop.
• Multiple Account Support: Connect and manage multiple Egnyte accounts within a single Couchdrop instance.
• Team Admin Access: Gain access to the entire Egnyte organization with the "As Team Admin" option.

Connecting Egnyte to Couchdrop

1. Log in to Couchdrop as an Administrator or Owner user.
2. Click the blue Add Storage Integration button.
3. Click Add Connection for Egnyte.
4. Specify the path where your Egnyte storage will appear in Couchdrop, then click Authorise Now. The As Team Admin option is required if you need access to the entire Egnyte organisation.
5. Complete the Egnyte OAuth process.
6. If required, set a subfolder. The selected subfolder will become the 'root' or top level Egnyte folder within Couchdrop.
7. Click Save Storage when all configuration is complete.

You can now transfer files to and from Egnyte with Couchdrop.

Couchdrop vs Native Egnyte SFTP

While Egnyte offers a robust native SFTP solution, Couchdrop provides several additional benefits:

• Couchdrop integrates SFTP, FTP, SCP, and Rsync, providing more versatility compared to Egnyte's native SFTP.
• Egnyte SFTP is designed for secure and compliant file transfers, but Couchdrop adds support for additional protocols and storage platforms, enhancing flexibility.
• Couchdrop supports both passive and active FTP, whereas Egnyte's native SFTP does not natively support FTP functionalities.
• Couchdrop offers features like automated file actions, email inboxes, and file transfer automations, which extend beyond basic SFTP capabilities.
• With Couchdrop, you can easily transfer files between Egnyte and other cloud storage platforms like SharePoint, Google Drive, and OneDrive.
• Couchdrop provides granular user permissions, white-labeled upload portals, and dedicated infrastructure options, offering more control and customisation.

While both Egnyte and Couchdrop ensure secure, compliant, and efficient file transfers, Couchdrop enhances Egnyte's native capabilities with additional protocol support and advanced features.
