Bring your own bucket on iPhone

The problem

Object storage lives behind a web console built for a large monitor. When the file you need is in a bucket and you are on a phone, the honest answer has been "wait until I am back at my desk".

What Uploads does

The buckets you set up on the Mac are here, with the same files in them. Find the file, get its link. Share a photo to Uploads from Photos and hand someone the URL from the sofa.

You don't set anything up twice. Bucket settings and upload history sync through your private iCloud database, and the secret key through iCloud Keychain, so a bucket added on the Mac arrives here with its keys.
