MAMP - Settings - Cloud (not registered)

Select your cloud provider from the Cloud Provider dropdown. After selecting a provider, your browser opens the provider’s website where you authorize MAMP to access your account.

The example below shows the Dropbox authorization flow:

  1. Sign in to Dropbox.

    MAMP - Settings - Cloud - Sign in to Dropbox

  2. Confirm that MAMP may access your Dropbox account. Access is limited to the “Apps/MAMP” folder. Click Allow.

    MAMP - Settings - Cloud - Authorize MAMP

  3. Dropbox redirects you back to MAMP. Confirm the redirect in your browser when prompted.

    MAMP - Settings - Cloud - Open MAMP

Choosing File Transfer (S)FTP as your cloud provider lets you transfer data to your own server. A dialog opens in which you enter the connection details.
