AI repository intelligence
FR-AI / ANALYSISWhy it is worth attention
It eliminates any intermediary server by signing S3 requests locally and talking directly to R2, giving you full control over your data with a simple drag-and-drop workflow.
Who it is for
- Mac users who frequently share files
- Developers comfortable with Cloudflare and self-hosting
- Privacy-conscious individuals wanting to own their file-sharing infrastructure
Use cases
- Sharing large video or media files with a disposable link
- Team collaboration by uploading collections of documents and media
- Personal file sharing without relying on third-party services
Strengths
- No server in the middle – requests signed locally and sent directly to R2
- Zero ongoing cost beyond Cloudflare R2 storage and egress fees
- Rapid onboarding with a single Cloudflare API token
- Generates static share pages and supports pinning/archiving without changing URLs
Considerations
- Only available for macOS (requires macOS 14 or later)
- Requires a Cloudflare account and R2 bucket setup
- Source-available license restricts public distribution and commercial use
README quick start
Dropper
Drop a file. Get a link.
Dropper lives in your Mac's menu bar. Drag files onto it and they upload to your own Cloudflare R2 bucket — a share page link lands on your clipboard in seconds. Free, no middleman, your bucket, your domain.
There is no server in the middle: the app signs S3 (SigV4) requests locally and talks directly to R2. Share pages are static HTML the app generates and uploads alongside your files. Onboarding takes a single Cloudflare API token, from which the app derives its S3 credentials.

Share bundle format
Every share is a self-contained folder in the configured R2 prefix. The folder name is a readable, sanitized version of the first filename followed by a random suffix. A single-file share and a collection use the same format.
For example, a two-file collection might look like this:
share/site/launch-demo-4adcb0b260c14b669777ab8c98f6772e/
├── index.html
├── manifest.json
├── launch-demo.mp4
├── notes.md
├── .thumb.launch-demo.mp4.jpg
├── .poster.launch-demo.mp4.jpg
└── .pinned
The objects have distinct jobs:
| Object | Purpose |
|---|---|
index.html | The generated, static share page and public entry point. |
manifest.json | The authoritative list, order, display metadata, and ownership record for the share. |
| `` | An uploaded media or document object. Filenames are sanitized and deduplicated within the share. |
.thumb..jpg | Optional small preview used by the Dropper menu. |
.poster..jpg | Optional larger video poster used by the generated share page. |
.pinned | Zero-byte marker indicating that the active share is pinned. |
.archived | Zero-byte marker indicating that the share is |
Description
Drop a file on your Mac's menu bar, get a beautiful share page link on your clipboard — served from your own Cloudflare R2 bucket. No middleman, no subscription, your domain.
