INFO

Dropshare is compatible with Amazon S3 and S3-API Compliant connections.

To create an S3-API Compliant connection in Dropshare for Mac, first enter the preferences. Switch to the Connection tab. Select S3-API Compliant for your connection, and enter all required information:

PreferenceDescription
Bucket NameEnter the name of the bucket. You can optionally also enter a subfolder in that given bucket, e.g. bucketname/foldername
The bucket needs to be public so files can be downloaded by URL.

Secret KeyEnter the AWS-compatible Access Secret Key
ServerEnter the S3 API-compliant server hostname (no http:// or https://)
RegionEnter a region name, optional
Domain AliasOptional: Enter your bucket's domain alias. This requires a CNAME record to be set.
Misc- Choose whether to use SSL
- Choose whether to use Path-Style URLs (s3.amazonaws.com/bucketname/file.jpg instead of bucketname.s3.amazonaws.com/file.jpg
- Choose whether to omit the ACL header (does not set files to public by default)
- Choose whether you wish to disable Multipart Uploads
- Choose whether you wish to use pre-signed URLs for your download links (using this allows Public Access disabled buckets)

Press Test Connection to make sure Dropshare is able to successfully upload files.
