What's New
Version 0.6:
Fixed issue in ScriptBridge that caused Imageshack and TwitPic destinations to fail under Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
Anyone thinking of buying this should be aware that post-1.0 updates will now only be available through the App Store - with no upgrade path for people who registered before the App Store release:
I give it 5 stars just for making ImageShack so easy. I also use it for drag-and-drop FTP uploads, clearing stuff off my desktop, and for holding all those little utilities that I need fast access to but don't want cluttering up the Dock.
* this generations quality
* easy way to go to my personal needs
* safe and cool
i love it, i think the next update should put youtube connections, that would be allot easier for me to upload my videos without opening my internet browser. ;)
Great application. I use it all the time as a droplet for uploading files to my ftp server, it is also great at making quick uploads to imageshack. Definitely give it a shot.
Interesting app, but I don't want to give-up 81 MB RAM memory for this application. Even if you don't have any action in the control pane, still it consumes 56 MB. :(
This is an amazing little app! It's powers are only limited by what kind of workflow/script someone can conjure up in Ruby, but the provided default scripts are pretty good themselves. It's surprising this app hasn't caught on yet. If more people who are familiar with Ruby use Dropzone's API to write little scripts, this thing can seriously overpower OS X's Automator app! since it's much more easier to use this than Automator (for a novice). The only downside is that I want to see more scripts for Dropzone. Once this little gem catches on, there is no doubt that it will be the next wildfire of an app for OS X, like how Bowtie, Coverflow, Bluebird, and the likes of others were.
Dropzone is a software swiss army knife. It's not essential to life, but very useful. In addition, If you know Ruby a little, Dropzone will fit more comfortably in your hand.
Version 3.1 has been nothing but trouble. The new Dock placement is confusing .... the app does not activate when it should. Not knowing that the program is actually running is should be looked at. So all in all a program I rely on dally does not operate. FIX PLEASE

Sometimes you want to keep an application quickly available, but you don't want it taking up space in your Dock. Simply add it to your Dropzone grid, and then you can launch the app by clicking on it in Dropzones grid, or you can drag files or folders onto it.
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 & Email
The Zip & Email destination zips up the dragged files and adds them as a Mail attachment, all ready to send. A simple and convenient time saver.
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 is open source. So you can help us make Dropzone even better!
