Thanks to Aptonic and Dropzone for sponsoring BrettTerpstra.com this week! I’ve been a Dropzone fan for as long as I can remember, and yes, I use it every day. It’s a wonderfully extensible tool that’s always available for things like sharing files, processing images, and opening apps. I’ve also gotten really used to using it’s drop drawer as a way to collect files, and even started incorporating the command line tool for all kinds of automation.

Dropzone is a menu bar productivity tool that gives you a faster way to move, copy, and share files, launch apps, and trigger all sorts of time-saving drag-and-drop actions without breaking your flow.

The newly released Dropzone 5 is a substantial update and has been redesigned for macOS Tahoe with a cleaner interface, smoother animations and support for Liquid Glass.

The update also adds several workflow-focused improvements. Multiple grids make it easy to separate actions by project or context, deeper grid customization gives you more control over categories, columns, and layout, and folder-based actions can now display the custom icons and colors you’ve assigned in Finder, which makes it easier to identify your folders in Dropzone at a glance.

If you like to automate from the command line, Dropzone 5 includes a powerful command line tool for Terminal integration too. You can run actions, manage files in Drop Bar, and switch between grids via the command line tool, making Dropzone 5 a better fit for scripted workflows than ever before.

Dropzone 5 is available as a free download from Aptonic, with a Pro upgrade available that adds more advanced features.

For a limited time, the Pro upgrade is available at a 30% discount with the coupon code LAUNCH.
