Which cloud services and servers can I connect to Storage Studio?

Short answer: Google Drive, Dropbox, Bucket Storage (Amazon S3 and S3-compatible services), FTP, SFTP and Local folder accounts. Google Photos can't be added right now, and OneDrive and Box aren't available as account types right now.

You can add Google Drive, Dropbox, Bucket Storage (Amazon S3 and other S3-compatible services), FTP, SFTP, and Local folder accounts. Google Photos can't be added right now because of Google's 2025 rule change, and OneDrive and Box aren't in the Add Account list right now.

What each type is for

  • Google Drive and Dropbox — sign in through your browser.
  • Bucket Storage — Amazon S3 or any S3-compatible service, using an access key, secret, region and bucket.
  • FTP and SFTP — your own file server. SFTP is the safe choice; FTP isn't encrypted.
  • Local folder — gives a folder on this Mac (or a network share you've mounted in Finder) a nickname so it can be used like an account.

See Google Photos and OneDrive for what to do instead.
