  1. Which should I pick?
  2. One in use, others remembered
  3. Switching and removing

Open Settings › Storage. You'll see four tiles under Uploads go to:

  • This Mac (Windows: This PC): uploads are off. Captures stay on your computer.

  • Cloudflare R2: "No fees for views".

  • Amazon S3: "Pay as you go".

  • Backblaze B2: "Low cost views".

Which should I pick?#

  • Not sure? Pick Cloudflare R2. It charges nothing when people open your links, which is what makes share links cost money elsewhere. It's the one we suggest first.

  • Already use AWS? Amazon S3 works the same way, and you can keep everything in one place.

  • Want to keep costs low and don't mind a few extra steps? Backblaze B2 is a good fit.

All three work the same way in VizShot, and you can change your mind later.

One in use, others remembered#

Only one place is in use at a time, shown by a green In use badge. Providers you've set up before stay remembered on this computer, with a grey Set up badge and their secret key safely in the Keychain (Windows: Credential Manager). Switching back is a click and Save, with nothing to retype.

Nothing changes until you press Save.

Switching and removing#

  • Switch by picking another tile and pressing Save. Picking This Mac and saving turns uploads off. The provider stays set up for later.

  • Remove a provider with its Remove button. VizShot deletes its keys from this computer. Your bucket isn't touched.
