ForkLiftForkLift is a dual-pane file manager and file transfer client for Mac. It shows two folders side by side, so you can copy and move files between them, and it connects to remote servers and cloud storage as easily as to your own disks: SFTP, FTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, SMB, AFP, NFS and more. It can compare and sync folders, rename many files at once and preview almost any file. ForkLift is made by Binarynights.Internet Utilities
R2DropUploading a file to Cloudflare R2 usually means opening the Cloudflare dashboard or using a command-line tool. R2Drop makes it part of the Mac: right-click a file in Finder and choose Send to R2, drop files on its menu bar or Dock icon, or pick files and folders from a window. Uploads run in a background queue with progress, retries, pause and cancel, and the public URL is copied for you when they finish.Internet Utilities
RheaRhea is a small status bar utility for the Mac that makes sharing files and links quick. Drag a file onto its menu bar icon and Rhea uploads it to your Dropbox, copying the link to your clipboard while the upload carries on in the background, so you can paste it right away. Drag a web link onto the icon instead and Rhea shortens it. Both actions also work from the dropdown menu when a file path, file URL or web address is already on your clipboard. Its developer compares it to CloudApp and Dropshare.Internet Utilities
Flying CarpetFlying Carpet sends and receives files between Mac, Android, iPhone, Windows and Linux, with no internet or cell connection needed. It works like a cross-platform AirDrop: transfer over a Wi-Fi or wired network both devices are already on, or have one device create its own Wi-Fi hotspot for the other to join. It is handy when you have no flash drive, no shared network, or need to move a file larger than 2 GB between different systems.Internet Utilities
SyncthingSyncthing keeps folders in sync between your own computers and devices, directly and privately. Instead of uploading files to a company's cloud, your devices talk to each other, so your data stays on hardware you own. Choose a folder, share it with another device running Syncthing, on a Mac, Windows or Linux computer, and changes are copied across automatically. Syncthing for macOS is the official Mac app: it puts Syncthing in your menu bar with a status icon, opens Syncthing's web interface in your browser, can start at login, and opens shared folders in Finder.Internet Utilities
