# Introduction

**R2Drop** is a native macOS app that makes uploading files to Cloudflare R2 feel effortless.

No browser dashboards, no copy-pasting URLs, no context switching. Right-click a file in Finder, drag it to the menu bar, or run a single CLI command — and get a public URL instantly.

## What R2Drop Does

* **Finder integration** — right-click any file or folder → *Send to R2*
* **Menu bar & Dock** — drag files directly onto the icon
* **File picker** — browse and select files from inside the app
* **CLI** — upload from terminal, scripts, and CI pipelines
* **Deep links** — trigger uploads from other apps via `r2drop://`

All uploads run in the background with parallel multipart transfers, automatic retries, and clipboard-ready URLs.

## Who Is This For?

R2Drop is built for developers and technical users who:

* Host assets, builds, or media on Cloudflare R2
* Want a fast upload workflow without touching the Cloudflare dashboard
* Script file distribution as part of CI/CD pipelines
* Manage multiple R2 buckets across different accounts
