SFTP IN. FILES IN GOOGLE CLOUD STORAGE. NO SERVERS.
SFTP and FTP for Google Cloud Storage
Google Cloud has no managed SFTP service. DocEvent gives your partners an SFTP, FTPS, FTP or SCP endpoint that reads and writes directly into your own GCS bucket — without running a VM to do it.

Your bucket
Files stream straight through to your own Google Cloud Storage bucket — nothing is stored on our servers.
How it works
Built for Google Cloud Storage
The gap Google leaves
There is no first-party managed SFTP on Google Cloud - AWS and Azure both have one, Google does not. The usual answer is a Compute Engine VM running sshd: a machine you pay for around the clock, plus the patching, key management, monitoring and failover that never stop. DocEvent replaces the whole arrangement with an endpoint you configure in minutes, free for up to five users.
Service-account scoped
Access is a service-account key you control and can rotate or revoke in the Google console at any time. Scope it to a single bucket and the endpoint can never see the rest of the project.
Your bucket, your lifecycle
Object versioning, retention policies, customer-managed encryption keys and lifecycle rules into Nearline, Coldline and Archive all keep working. Files are never stored on our servers.
Common questions
One account, any cloud
Services are configured independently, so the same account can front more than one cloud with one set of users and one audit trail.
