In their own words
Dropzone
Dropzone is a macOS app for drag-and-drop workflows, file transfers, application launches, and service integrations. Built-in actions rename, move, and copy files, share through AirDrop, and launch apps. Other actions resize or compress images, download videos, and shorten URLs. Drop Bar temporarily holds files for later dragging to applications or Dropzone actions. Dropzone 5 supports multiple grids, with controls for columns, size, and action arrangement. Its dz command-line tool can run actions, add files to Drop Bar, and switch grids. Users can install add-on actions or create their own in Ruby or Python. Listed service actions include SFTP, Amazon S3, and Imgur; SFTP and Amazon S3 uploads are Pro features. The Free plan includes a customizable app, folder, and action grid, multiple grids, and Drop Bar. Dropzone 5 Pro costs $1.99 a month after a 14-day free trial, or 35.00 USD once for a lifetime license. The app requires macOS 13 or later and supports Tahoe.
