Review: Dropzone by Aptonic
Drag and Drop functionality has been a hallmark of the simplicity of the Mac OS for as long as there were was a GUI, Dropzone from Aptonic has taken Drag and Drop to a whole new level; allowing power users to accomplish more using a simpler workflow.
Installing/Removing applications in Mac OSX is so simple that automating the process of installing an application from a DMG can get repetitive for a power user. Dropzone allows your to drag your run-of-the-mill .dmg installer file onto it’s icon and have the .dmg mounted, the .app moved into your Applications folder with a simple drag and drop.
File management is becoming more of a chore now that half our data is in the cloud. As we begin to put more of our pictures, documents, and other miscellaneous information on remote servers, Dropzone gives a seamless way to interact with multiple online services such as Flickr, Bit.ly, Dropbox and many more all through it’s refined drag and drop functionality. It’s also developer friendly offering open APIs you can use to extend Dropzone allowing it to work with even more services.
Dropzone has a bright future ahead given their open nature and dedicated development team who recently took care of a bunch of first release bugs and have the newest version 0.3.3 running great. Download Dropzone for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.
