SFTP To Go is close. Bridglet is better.
SFTP To Go is a solid developer-friendly service — but its entry plan includes a single credential and 5GB, and matching Bridglet's 10GB costs roughly $59/mo. Bridglet gives you more for less.

The Features That Matter
Two things separate Bridglet from SFTP To Go for vendor drop workflows: retention policies and credential scoping.
Retention Policies
SFTP To Go
Limited lifecycle management — not a first-class configurable feature per directory. Teams often resort to cron jobs or S3 lifecycle rules as a workaround.
Bridglet
Set retention TTLs per directory from the dashboard or API. Files auto-expire on schedule. No external lifecycle rules, no cron jobs — built into the core product.
retention: 30d · auto-delete: enabled
Credential Scoping
SFTP To Go
User credentials can access multiple directories by default. Manual configuration is required to restrict each vendor's access to a specific path.
Bridglet
Every credential is directory-scoped by default. Vendor A's key literally cannot traverse outside their assigned path — enforced at the protocol level, not just policy.
