Connections

Connections are saved remote destinations — like an Amazon S3 bucket or a WordPress site — that you can pick when exporting derivatives. Instead of choosing a local folder every time, you authenticate once and then export to that destination with a click.

Adding a connection

1. Open Preferences (⌘, on macOS, Ctrl+, on Windows) from the user menu in the top-right.
2. Scroll to the Connections section.
3. Click Add Connection, pick a provider, fill in the form, and save.

The fields for each provider are documented on their own pages:

• Connecting to Amazon S3
• Connecting to WordPress

Binding a connection to a preset

Each Output Preset chooses one Destination — either Local folder (default) or one of your connections. Open a preset's Output settings and use the Destination dropdown to pick a connection. The destination is saved as part of the preset, so different presets can target different buckets or sites without affecting each other.

Testing a connection

Each row in the Connections list has a Test button. Clicking it runs a server-side connectivity check using the credentials you supplied — without uploading anything — and updates the status indicator next to the row.

A green check means we successfully reached the destination with those credentials. A red icon means the connection failed; hover for the error message returned by the provider.

Editing or deleting

Use the Edit button on a row to update its label, configuration, or credentials. When editing, leave the secret/password field blank to keep the existing credentials; only type into it if you want to replace them.

Delete removes the connection. Any preset that was bound to it will revert to local-folder export on the next run.
