Drop a file onto a destination and Dropzone will take care of the rest. Whether you are installing an app, uploading a file to a FTP server or sharing your photos on Flickr, Dropzone can help you.
In short, Dropzone provides you Dock integration like you have never seen before.
Here are some key features of "Dropzone":
Launch applications :
· Simply add the apps that you need to your Dropzone grid (by dragging and dropping files or folders onto it), and then launch them by clicking on their icons in the Dropzones grid.
Install applications:
· Drag a DMG onto the Install Application destination, and Dropzone mounts the disk image, finds the application inside, copies it to your applications folder, launches it, ejects the disk image and moves it to the Trash for you.
Flickr upload:
· Drop a bunch of pictures on to the Flickr Upload destination and Dropzone uploads them for you. It can even copy the direct image URL to the clipboard so you can paste it to a friend. You can also setup multiple accounts.
FTP Upload:
· You can setup as many FTP servers as you like with Dropzone. If you hold down option while dragging, Dropzone will even zip up the files or folders for you before uploading and put the URL on the clipboard.
Save text:
· Drop some text onto the Save Text destination, Dropzone asks you for a name, and saves it for you. Great for storing those little snippets of text that you don`t want to lose.
Copy or move files:
· Sometimes you want to copy or move a file or folder somewhere else on your Mac. Dropzone lets you setup destinations that do this. Underneath, Dropzone uses the fast and powerful Rsync file transfer tool to do its work.
Zip and e-mail:
· The Zip and e-mail destination archive up the dragged files and adds them as a Mail attachment, and make them ready to send. As a result, Dropzone allows you to conveniently save a lot of time.
Extend Dropzone:
· Dropzone has a powerful Ruby based API that allows you to script Dropzone to do whatever you need. Not only that, but all the code for the destinations above.
