How To Connect Cloudflare R2 To YACSS
Cloudflare R2 is a fast, cost-effective object storage solution with zero egress fees. By connecting your Cloudflare R2 account to YACSS, you can store, manage and serve files directly from your buckets across all your workflows.
Open Cloud Connectivity
In YACSS, navigate to Cloud Connectivity from the sidebar. Click Connect on the Cloudflare card to begin the setup process.
Prepare Your Inputs
You will need the following five values — we will retrieve them from the Cloudflare dashboard in the steps below.
- Name — Any label you choose to identify this connection
- Bucket Name — The name of the R2 bucket you will create
- Public Bucket R2 URL — The public development URL of your bucket
- Account ID — Found on the R2 overview page in Cloudflare
- Access Key ID — Generated from Account API Tokens
- Secret Access Key — Generated alongside the Access Key ID
Open Cloudflare Dashboard
Go to the Cloudflare Dashboard. In the left sidebar, navigate to Storage & Databases → R2 Object Storage → Overview. Then click Manage in the Account Details panel on the right.

Create an API Token
Click Create Account API Token. On the next screen, select Admin Read & Write as the permission type, then click Create Account API Token to confirm.
Copy Your Credentials
After creating the token, Cloudflare will display your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. Copy both values — the Secret Access Key is only shown once and cannot be retrieved later. Paste them into the corresponding fields in YACSS.
Create a Bucket
Go back to the R2 Object Storage overview page and click Create bucket. Give it any name you want — this will be the Bucket Name you paste into YACSS.
Enable the Public URL
Open the bucket you just created and click the Settings tab. Copy the Bucket Name and paste it into YACSS. Then find Public Development URL and click Enable. Once enabled, copy the URL and paste it into the Public Bucket R2 URL field in YACSS.
Copy Account ID & Save
Go back to the R2 overview page. In the Account Details panel, copy the Account ID and paste it into the corresponding field in YACSS. Once all fields are filled in, click Save — your Cloudflare R2 connection is now active.
