Remote upload

Save a URL to S3-compatible storage

Paste a public HTTP(S) link, pick S3-compatible storage, and SaveToDrive streams the file into your cloud — without using your device bandwidth or disk.

Why this works well

  • Know the size before you commit (link probe)
  • Transfers continue after you close the browser
  • Optional convert-in-flight for images (e.g. PNG → WebP)

How to do it

  1. Connect S3-compatible storage once (OAuth or S3 keys).
  2. Paste the public file URL into a new remote upload.
  3. Choose S3-compatible storage and an optional image convert.
  4. Start the job and track it in your feed.
