VERDICT

Should I use SFTP To Go?

Managed SFTP / secure cloud storage as a service by Crazy Ant Labs - sftptogo.com

Depends. Buy it if you are a developer or Heroku shop that needs a managed SFTP endpoint without running servers. Skip it if you need enterprise MFT automation or only share files occasionally.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~20 public sources; review depth is thin (one verified Slashdot review, truncated Capterra snippets).
