Your FTP service, in the browser
SFS Drive is web access to your Simple FTP Service. The same users who connect over SFTP, FTPS or FTP can sign in from any browser to upload, download and manage files — no client software, no new accounts, and every action in the same audit log.
Get started for free — SFS Drive is included with every plan.

SFS Drive
Same service as FTP
Your bucket
The same user accounts, home directories, firewall rules and audit log as SFTP / FTPS / FTP — FTP clients and browsers work side by side.
How SFS Drive works
Drive is not a separate product — it's another front door onto the file service you already run, next to SFTP, FTPS and FTP.
1
Sign in with an existing account
Your users open sfs-drive.docevent.io and sign in with the same username and password they already use for SFTP or FTPS. No new accounts, no client software to install.
2
Browse and transfer files
Upload, download, rename, delete and create folders straight from the browser — on any device. Uploads stream directly to your storage with live progress.
3
Same rules, same audit trail
Home directories, read-only restrictions, IP firewall rules and quotas all apply exactly as they do over FTP, and every action lands in the same audit log.
Same service, same controls
One set of users
Web access is a per-user switch on your existing service users — turn it on for the customers who want a browser, off for the ones who should stay machine-to-machine.
Read-only respected
Users marked read-only can browse and download but never change a file — in the browser just like over SFTP.
Audited like every protocol
Drive activity appears in your service logs alongside SFTP, FTPS and FTP sessions, so one audit trail covers every way a file moved.
Your bucket, no copies
Files stream between the browser and your own S3, Azure Blob, GCS or S3-compatible bucket. Nothing is stored on DocEvent servers.
When the browser beats a client
FTP clients are perfect for automation. People are a different story — that's what Drive is for.
- Give non-technical customers a way to drop off and pick up files without teaching them an FTP client
- Let staff grab a file from their phone or a locked-down machine where no FTP client is allowed
- Offer read-only browser downloads of reports and statements to end customers
- Keep automated systems on SFTP while humans use the browser — same folders, same permissions
