DropCopy: fast file sharing

DropCopy - a small utility for ease of file transfer between Macs on a local network. After starting on the desktop appears a small icon in the so-called «dropzone», which looks like a black hole.

When you drag to the "drop zone" of a file, a list of active contact network where the file is to be delivered.

After this operation, the computer receives the file, a window with a request to acknowledge receipt of the file, and if the request was approved, under the simple animation file is sent to another computer.

Although computers from the local network with the included DropCopy displayed automatically, you can add and destination addresses that are outside of your network. For example, the address of the server SFTP. However, there is no possibility to connect to iDisk in the program as a destination.

In addition, DropCopy lets you share your Mac's buffer exchange, which can be used as a reminder of some person that he forgot to include Skype, iChat or other im-messenger.

The context menu allows you to quickly tune the destination folder, add the SFTP server to look past the files and several other functions:

In general, we can say that when the program is only there 5 years ago, she made a small revolution, allowing you to quickly share files between computers, but in the era of DropBox, SkyDrive and other things, the use of the program can be useful only when you can see for themselves exactly this same advantage in the use :)

The main competitor in this niche application - only paid Worml, however DropCopy much simpler and minimalistic.
