Hosted SFTP, FTPS and web file transfer
Know the moment a partner's file lands, or doesn't.
Dropwarden gives each partner and client a secure place to drop files, alerts the right people when files arrive or go missing, and records every upload and download.
No card required. Plans from $9 a month. No per-hour endpoint fees.
Partner and vendor file drops (EDI-lite)
Stop wondering whether the supplier file arrived
Suppliers, 3PLs, retailers and payroll providers push CSV, XML and EDI files over SFTP. Give each partner an inbox, outbox and archive folder, get an alert when a file lands, and another when an expected file doesn't.
- One folder set per partner: /inbox, /outbox and /archive, created from a template
- Upload alerts by email, Slack, Teams or a signed webhook
- "Nothing in /inbox/acme by 9:00 AM on weekdays" alerts, so a missed drop is a message, not a surprise
- SSH keys for partner systems, per-folder permissions and IP allowlists
Accounting, bookkeeping and tax firms
Collect client documents without teaching anyone SFTP
Clients upload in the browser. Staff get one digest instead of a flood of emails, and every download is recorded in the audit log with who, when and from where.
- One folder per client, created from a template
- Upload and download alerts, batched into a daily digest
- Two-factor authentication, encryption at rest and in transit, and a downloadable audit trail
- Helps you meet the FTC Safeguards Rule's vendor and access-logging requirements
How Dropwarden helps with the Safeguards Rule
Alerts that respect your inbox
Folder rules that cover subfolders
Set a rule once on /inbox and it covers every partner folder beneath it. Filter by file pattern, member or role.
Digest batching
Ten uploads, one email. Choose instant alerts or a digest every 15 minutes, hourly or daily.
Missed-file alerts
"Alert me if nothing lands in /inbox/acme by 9:00 AM on weekdays." Expected files that don't arrive get noticed.
Full audit log with CSV export
Who did what, when, from which IP address and over which protocol, for every upload, download, rename and delete.
Download alerts fire when a download completes. SFTP has no separate "opened" event, and directory listings are not reported as reads.
