[Free] Update to dropadoo - *ZIP before sending!
Hey there, back then when i launched dropadoo, for being niche and nerdy and whatnot, you liked it. Super nice feedback, thank you again. Let me bring an update that adds to the usability, not feature creep. You can now optional zip your files automatically before sending. Temp-zip gets deleted afterwards, subject and body text generation etc. didn't change - as great as before. --- now official post format--- Dropadoo does exactly one thing and it does it perfectly: Send files to predefined e-mails via drag and drop. Now think about platforms that accept email receipt... workflows with just one single drop: Asana, Box, ClickUp, Cloud-Storage, Dropbox, GitHub, Google Drive, HubSpot, Hubspot, IFTTT applets, Jira, Make, Mantis, Monday, Notion, Redmine, Trello, Zapier, Zenddesk, Zoho, to name a tew... Drop without further ado - dropadoo Problem: Time & clicks spent when you just quickly need to send attachments to frequently used recipients or platforms. (open e-mail client, open new mail, drop the attachment, enter recipient, send). Compare: I'm not aware of a tool like that. Always on the hunt for perfekt workflows, i designed and created it. Some of those newer notch/mouse helper/dropzone apps might have a comparable possibility. Then again, dropadoo is dedicated, has some nice options and is faster to use. Other than that it comes as standalone SMTP client, so, once configured, you don't clutter your email server and are fast as lightening. Pricing: FREE in the app store. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dropadoo-send-files-via-drop/id6758711616?mt=12 I might raise it to a cheap one time purchase sopme time. Not sure yet. Anyways, get your copy if you're interested, my way of saying thank you for this sub. Changelog: 1.1.0 features zip funtionality. You will find it in each dropzone to toggle it. Roadmap - not sure where this will take me, most likely FTP next. (ideas welcome) Will depend a lot on your feedback. Al Disclaimer: None. Hand coded from white sheet. Designed in Adobe XD, coded in Flutter, compiled after some OS-native changes in Xcode.

What surprises me is that you still have not made the app paid after 2 months
because i like you here. i'm not in the for the money not for such nerdy tools.
Glad to see. Don't let the installs corrupt you too quickly!
Good luck with dropadoo !
really appreciate this being free :) doing amazing work
thanx mate!
Yo Phunk! I loved Dropadoo the moment I saw it a couple of months ago. I’ve used it almost daily since. There is only one thing that annoys me, and it might be specific to me and my workflow, but since the app is nieche anyways, perhaps it’s something to consider. When I work, i always have all my windows maximised. Especially browsers etc. which means that my desktop is not ever visible. Therefore (as your screenshot shows) the nicely formatted Ui, that looks like a widget, is not useful for me. Whenever I want to quickly send a file, I have to 1. open the app, then position my finder window, and then drag and drop the file to send. For me it would be so much easier to just drag whatever file I need to send up to the menubar, and drop it in a dropzone. If you were to have the app running as a menu bar item, and have the window pop open when you drag a file to the icon. Even if you won’t implement this functionality, I will continue to use the app multiple times per week!
quick fix - use the stay in top button? that is if you find a good place of course slow fix - let me think about that and come back to you. cool for you?
and thank u sooo much for your kind words! this is why we do things for free, hear me!!!
Could you please clarify the data collection? Thanks What is the purpose of creating an account?
nez, if you read the description you will see that dropadoo is an email-app (basically). in order to fulfill this you might want to use smtp server credentials or it will not work. as soon as you include them, they are in the keychain. nothing leaves your Mac etc etc etc. it's as safe as thunderbird, maybe safer? (have to look into that, don't make me please)
Thanks for the clarifications.
Any plans to put it on brew?
if i manage to read through what is needed to do so, i will. never touched brew so far. what am i missing?
I don’t see you mentioned, but maybe you’ve already implemented it but it’d be great if you could encrypt the zip. By that I mean, add a password to it.
hmmm interesting, thing is it gets more complicated then. ty for the input!
This is a lifesaver for users who need to move data between Mac and Windows without too much configuration or cloud-related stuff.
nice you see it that way. i built it mainly for the platform thingie -trello etc
I mean I will install for the name alone!
omg, nice! 😘
