CHANGES:
- Shelves no longer take focus when shown, so your current app stays active. A setting is available to restore the previous focus behavior.
- Shelf keyboard shortcuts now require the Dropover window to be focused to prevent accidental activation while using other apps.
- Single-click on files no longer opens Detail View. Use the button below the shelf to open Detail View.

Description:

Dropover is a utility that makes it easier to move content between folders, applications, windows and workspaces using Drag and Drop.

Drag and Drop on Mac usually involves two windows; one for the source and the other showing the place where you want to move the item to. This can be a hassle sometimes.

With Dropover, you just shake with your cursor while dragging content and a small window will appear nearby where you can store your drags. This window floats on top of all other windows allowing you to freely navigate to your destination.

Once you've navigated to the destination, you just grab your content from the window and to move it to the destination.

**Features**
- Drag and Drop any draggable content in Mac without hassle
- Trigger Dropover using a shake gesture, global shortcut or menubar
- Stack content to an existing window. Then move them all at once to your destination.
- Reveal dragged content in Finder or directly share it using Messages, Mail or Airdrop
- Seamless, fun and satisfying Drag and Drop experience with beautiful UI
- And of course, Dark Mode!

**Never in Your Way**
Dropover window appears when and where you need it, saving you time and travel while dragging content. Activate it either by shaking your cursor, dropping your content onto the menu bar or using self assigned keyboard shortcut.

**Works With Any Content**
Whether you are moving files in Finder, clipping text from a document, dragging attachments from Mail or gathering images from web in Safari, it works with any draggable content.

**Stack Content**
Keep dragging new content to the Dropover window and move them all at once to your destination. Collecting images from web has never been easier!

**Quickly Share**
Reveal dragged content in Finder or directly share it using Messages, Mail or Airdrop.
