DESCRIPTION
Dropzone provides drag-and-drop access to opening, transferring, and installing files. Its Dock icon provides a popup grid of options that can be customized to copy or move files to a specified folder, upload files to an FTP server or a Flickr account, install applications (opening a DMG file, copying the contents to the Applications folder, and trashing the DMG file), zipping and emailing dropped files, saving dropped text to a file, and more. It includes a Ruby-based API that makes it possible to create extensions to perform other actions.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 0.3.0:
  • All the grid rendering code has been redone from scratch to be faster and smoother.
  • You can now resize the grid icons, which is especially useful on smaller screens where you don’t want the grid taking up so much space.
  • We’ve also added an SCP upload destination which lets you easily upload files via SSH.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

RRAM  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. :(

PARTHIBAN M  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.

Highly recommended.

MZCH  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.
