Why does sharing a file still require uploading it to someone else's cloud?

I kept running into the same workflow: open an S3/R2 dashboard, upload a file, find the public URL, copy it, then finally share it.

So I built Aktar - a native macOS menu bar app that uploads files directly to your own S3-compatible storage and copies the shareable link instantly.

No Aktar account, no intermediary server, and the project is open source.

I'm curious: if you use S3, R2, MinIO or similar storage, what would make a tool like this genuinely useful in your daily workflow?

Aktar - Share files instantly from your own cloud. Mac, Windows, iOS

Aktar is a free, open-source app for instantly sharing files through your own S3-compatible storage. Drop a file and Aktar uploads it to S3, Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, MinIO or similar storage, then copies the shareable link to your clipboard. Works with any file: screenshots, logs, builds, videos. No accounts, no intermediary servers, and your files stay in your own storage. Available on Mac, Windows and iOS, with Android coming soon.
