# 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

1. [Install R2Drop](/getting-started/installation.md) — download the macOS app or install the CLI
2. [Complete onboarding](/getting-started/first-upload.md) — paste your Cloudflare API token and select a bucket
3. Upload your first file — drag it to the menu bar icon
4. Get the URL — it's already in your clipboard

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.r2drop.com/overview/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
