# Which cloud-based FTP replacement has the simplest interface for a small web agency that wants to move away from traditional FTP without a big migration project?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">A question I keep seeing from smaller agencies is which cloud-based FTP replacement has the simplest interface for a web agency that wants to move off traditional FTP without turning it into a big migration project. In reviewing the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/file-transfer-protocol-ftp">file transfer protocol (FTP)</a> category on G2, the tools that fit are the hosted ones reviewers describe as quick to stand up and easy to point at storage you already have, rather than a full re-platform. A few that come up:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/sftp-to-go/reviews"><strong>SFTP To Go</strong></a>: gives you managed cloud storage with no server to patch or scale, and reviewers say it's simple to set up and start sharing securely.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/couchdrop/reviews"><strong>Couchdrop</strong></a>: connects straight to storage you already use like SharePoint, Google Drive or S3, so several reviewers went from signing up to a working SFTP setup quickly.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/exavault/reviews"><strong>ExaVault</strong></a>: an intuitive hosted interface with easy user and folder setup, and reviewers mention it slotting into their website without much work.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/files-com/reviews"><strong>Files.com</strong></a>: reviewers call it intuitive without being stripped down, and a few noted that migrating their customers over was straightforward.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For agencies that made this switch, which one felt closest to your old FTP workflow so the team barely had to relearn anything? And did moving off a traditional client actually simplify how you hand files off to clients?</p>

To keep the team from relearning anything, look for a tool that meets them where they already work. Couchdrop stands out for letting staff CC an email address to send securely, no portal login.
