A desktop client for Cloudflare R2

R2 speaks the S3 API. DockBird’s preset knows the endpoint shape and the “auto” region, so you only paste your account ID and an API token.

Cloudflare R2 is S3-compatible object storage with no egress fees, which makes it popular for static assets, backups and media. Cloudflare’s dashboard is not a file manager, though, and the wrangler CLI is a one-file-at-a-time tool.

Pick the Cloudflare R2 tile in DockBird and the endpoint field shows the pattern https://<account-id>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com with the region preset to “auto”, which is what R2 expects. Create an R2 API token in the Cloudflare dashboard, paste the access key and secret, and your buckets appear.

After that R2 is just a folder tree: drag a site build in, Quick Look an image, delete a stale prefix, all with the transfers panel keeping score.

How to connect

  1. Press ⌘N or click the plus next to Servers in the sidebar.
  2. Choose the Cloudflare R2 tile.
  3. Fill in: Name · Bucket (leave empty to browse all buckets) · Region · Endpoint · Access key ID · Secret access key · Initial prefix.
  4. Click Save, then double-click the server. Approve the host key or certificate prompt if one appears.
