This detailed guide will walk you through the entire process of integrating Cloudflare R2 with Offload  Media. We will cover how to create and configure an R2 bucket, generate API tokens, and adjust the plugin’s settings.

Follow these steps to successfully set up Cloudflare R2 with your offload media plugin.

Step 1: Log in to Your Cloudflare Account

Step 2: Create a Cloudflare R2 Bucket

In the Cloudflare dashboard, use the left sidebar to go to Storage & Databases >> R2 Object Storage, then open the Overview section.

From there, click on the “ Create Bucket “ button to begin the process of creating your bucket.

Step 3: Configure Bucket Settings

Enter a unique and identifiable name for your bucket.

Keep the remaining options as default without making any changes, and click “ Create Bucket “ to finalize the process.

Step 4: Cloudflare Bucket Public URL

Once the bucket is created, Go to settings, and scroll down to the “Public Development URL” section on your bucket’s details page. Then,Click on “ Enable “  to enable access to your R2.dev bucket URL. 

Then, A pop-up will appear, asking you to type “allow” to grant permission. 

Now, from here, you will get the Cloudflare Bucket Public Development URL.

Finally, click the “ Create Account API Token “ button.

Step 7: Retrieve Access and Secret Keys
