This downloads 1.75 not 1.76 ? Am I missing something?

oops - spoke too soon! after an hour or so, DC1.7.3 fails to see other macs on my wireless network, despite 'airdrop' working fine. so who knows what the heck is going on, but DC of any version on Lion is a problem for me - and I suspect the problem is Lion and NOT DC!

I've been using DropCopy for quite a while. I paid for the upgraded version to be able to use it on a family network with several machines. It is really great to the extent that it works. However, it really doesn't work that well. Always there are destinations missing. That really is my main gripe. I feel like it should show all the destinations on the network correctly. I make sure to keep the most current version on all machines. The fact that is constantly complains about transferring large file sizes is only mildly annoying (but it comes up a lot). DropBox is not really the same because with DropCopy you are not synching remotely. It is a file transfer utility. Given the large amount of time it has been on the market, they have had time to get it debugged, but it is very buggy. My recommendation is to go with the free version and remind yourself that free is incredible. It isn't worth paying for only because it does not function correctly most of the time.

Nice App, BUT, why does it warn you all the time that the file your are sending is bigger than 50 MB, in these days almost everything we share is bigger than 50MB!! It should have a confirmation dialog option to confirm the sender, also this app would completely ROCK if it was a cross plataform JAVA version!, then we could use it on a usb pen, on windows, on mobile, whatever!

I was over on the Apple forums trying to answer a question for someone and during the course of the interaction amoungst a few of us, someone brought up a good point. Why are you using DropCopy when all you really need to do is enable "File Sharing" under the "Sharing" icon in Preferences.

Good point I thought and laster did enable it. I don't need DropCopy now. I can move large amounts of data from one Mac to another with no size limitations that I found DropCopy had a 2GB.

I'm not saying you don't need it. Some people can and will use it, but the game is changing with Lion's imminent release in July where moving data between Mac's will be transparent to the user.

DropCopy 1.6.2 nomore works on PPC 10.4.10. Works fine, no trouble on SL.

Been doing some digging around as to why 1.6.2 still gets the annoying message at startup ("Do you want to allow...") with a hidden dock icon.

I followed up on re-signing the app as per the DropCopy FAQ and came up with this:

$ codesign -v /Applications/DropCopy.app
/Applications/DropCopy.app: a sealed resource is missing or invalid

hmm. digging around some more I found this:

$ codesign -dvvvv /Applications/DropCopy.app
Executable=/Applications/DropCopy.app/Contents/MacOS/DropCopy
Identifier=DropCopy
Format=bundle with Mach-O universal (i386)
CodeDirectory v=20100 size=2197 flags=0x2(adhoc) hashes=104+3 location=system
CDHash=df60b9a49c6ae92a556bc9a2a32e856373ae6433
Signature=adhoc
Info.plist entries=14
Sealed Resources rules=4 files=57
Internal requirements count=1 size=144

is it possible that the app must remain Universal to be signed? I strip all my non-intel code from all apps using XSlimmer - maybe DropCopy doesn't like to be slimmed?

any thoughts?

As of the installation of 1.4.7 there is no menubar icon anymore ,no way to configure preferences and oddly the triangle next to the dock icon (to show the app is on) is missing even though the app is on.
Previously the app worked tolerably well.
Support has gotten back to me in a few hours.
