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
Quick Start
Install R2Drop — download the macOS app or install the CLI
Complete onboarding — paste your Cloudflare API token and select a bucket
Upload your first file — drag it to the menu bar icon
Get the URL — it's already in your clipboard
Open Source
R2Drop is MIT-licensed and fully open source.
