Shelves for drag and drop: stash files, then drop them anywhere.
Details
What is Dropover?
Dropover makes drag and drop easier on your Mac. Gather files, folders, images, links, and text in a temporary floating window
called a shelf. Then switch apps or folders and drop everything where you need it, all at once.
Designed to feel right at home on macOS, Dropover combines familiar controls with thoughtful, responsive interactions. It appears
when you need it and stays out of the way when you don't.
Shake the pointer while dragging to open a shelf. You can also use a keyboard shortcut or drop files onto the menu bar icon or
MacBook notch.
Manage collected files
Keep everything together while you work. Browse, preview with Quick Look, rename, and organize items directly on the shelf.
Do more with your files
Built-in actions handle tasks such as resizing and converting images, extracting text, creating ZIP archives, and more. Drop files
straight onto Instant Actions to share, upload, or convert them without collecting them first.
Share from one place
Send files through AirDrop, Mail, Messages, and other apps in the Share menu. Upload files and copy shareable links using built-in
Dropover Cloud or services including iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Amazon S3, and Imgur.
