How it works

Set it up once. Then just drop files.

1

Choose your folders

Pick one or more folders to watch — your screenshots folder, an exports directory, anywhere files land.

2

Connect your bucket

Add your Amazon S3 or Cloudflare R2 credentials. Files upload directly from your Mac to your storage.

3

Paste the link

Every new file is uploaded automatically and a share link is copied to your clipboard, ready to paste.

Features

Small app. Serious plumbing.

Multiple folders

Watch as many folders as you like. Everything ships to the same bucket, organized by date.

Links that expire

Choose how long links stay valid — 15 minutes to 7 days. Re-copy a fresh link anytime from the menu bar.

Your own storage

Bring your own Amazon S3 or Cloudflare R2 bucket. No middleman servers, no accounts, no telemetry.

Keychain security

Your secret access key is stored in the macOS Keychain, never in plain-text preferences.

Crash recovery

A persistent ledger resumes interrupted uploads and catches files added while the app wasn't running.

Offline-aware

No connection? Uploads queue and resume automatically, with exponential-backoff retries on failure.

Pricing

One price. One Mac. Forever.

Privacy

Your files never touch our servers.

FolderChute uploads directly from your Mac to storage you control, over TLS, signed with your own credentials. There is no FolderChute cloud, no analytics, and nothing to sign up for.
