Dropper

Dropper is a macOS menu bar utility that uploads files directly to a user's own Cloudflare R2 bucket, generating a share page with a copyable link. It solves the problem of sharing files without relying on third-party storage or subscriptions. The tool targets developers, IT professionals, and individual users who want full control over their data and a streamlined sharing workflow. It is positioned as a free, no-subscription alternative to cloud storage services, with direct-to-bucket uploads and automatic format conversions.
