CONNECTED STORAGE
Your storage. Your rules. Your cloud, if any.
Rostyman never forces you onto our servers. Sync collections through the storage you already trust — Git, a URL, Google Drive, Dropbox — or just keep everything local. You decide, per collection.
Why this is different
Most API clients have exactly one way to sync: their cloud. If their sync breaks, your team is stuck. If they shut down, your collections go with them. Connected Storage flips that — you pick the backing store you already pay for, and Rostyman talks to it. We're a client; your data is yours.
Four supported sources
Mix and match. Different collections can live in different places.
Git
Point Rostyman at a Git repo. It commits your collections as .rostyman files. Use any host — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, self-hosted. Branches, PRs, code review — the workflow your team already uses.
- Auto-commit on change
- Pull updates from teammates
- Full diff per commit
- Works with private repos
URL sync
Publish a collection behind any URL — S3, GitHub raw, your own server. Anyone with the link can pull updates. Configurable polling interval, manual refresh anytime.
- One-way or two-way sync
- Custom poll interval
- Works with any HTTPS endpoint
- Great for public or semi-public collections
Google Drive
Publish directly to a Drive folder. Share the link the way you already share Drive files. Drive handles versioning, permissions, and audit trail — we handle the sync.
- OAuth sign-in, scoped access
- Automatic version history
- Share via Drive permissions
- Works with Workspace accounts
Dropbox
Push to a Dropbox folder. Other machines you sign in to auto-pick up the updates. Team Dropbox works too — share the folder, everyone’s collections stay in lockstep.
- OAuth sign-in
- Sync across all your devices
- Shared folder support
- Version history via Dropbox
Human-readable file format
Collections serialize to .rostyman— plain JSON. Diff it in Git. Open it in VS Code. Search it with grep. Your API design isn't trapped in an opaque database you can't export.
Portable, readable, scriptable. The tool could disappear tomorrow and your work would still be intact.
