A floating shelf that makes drag and drop easier

MacFree to start

The verdict

Shake your pointer while dragging a file and Dropover opens a small floating shelf where you can park files, links, text and images, then drop them all at once wherever they need to go. It also resizes images, makes ZIP archives and uploads files to its free Dropover Cloud for a share link. After the 14-day trial, Pro is a $7.99 one-time purchase.
