What is Dropover?
Dropover is a native macOS utility designed to streamline drag and drop workflows. It provides a temporary shelf that appears when you shake your pointer, allowing you to collect files, links, text snippets, and images from any source. Once gathered, you can move, share, or process all items in a single action.
The app integrates deeply with macOS, supporting features like Quick Look, clipboard, share extensions, and menu bar access. It also offers built-in file actions such as image resizing, text extraction, and ZIP creation, plus optional cloud uploads via Dropover Cloud, iCloud Drive, AWS S3, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or Imgur. Power users can leverage keyboard shortcuts, custom actions, scripts, and extensions for Alfred, Raycast, and Siri Shortcuts.
