With DropCopy, you just send a file into the hole and it’s on its way. You could use iChat, but you’d need to arrange multiple screen names to avoid the "multiple logins" problem, and you’d have to be at both computers at once (one to send the file and the other to accept it). Instead, DropCopy uses Bonjour (formerly known as Rendezvous) for auto-discovery and data transfer. You could use Personal File Sharing to accomplish the same thing, of course, but DropCopy feels far more lightweight: you don’t need to turn File Sharing on, you don’t need a username and password, you don’t need to log on or open any remote Finder windows, you don’t need to worry about permissions. Continue dragging onto an item of that menu, and the file or folder is copied to that computer. Drag a file or folder onto this hole, and a menu appears next to it, listing the names of any other computers on your local network that are also running DropCopy. This little utility’s "window" is a small translucent dark spot, rather like a hole, that sits behind all other applications (and behind your desktop Finder icons). I’ve recently discovered DropCopy, from 10base-t Interactive. #1649: More LastPass breach details and 1Password switch, macOS screen saver problem, tvOS 16.3.3 fixes Siri Remote bug. ![]() ![]() #1650: Cloud storage changes for Box, Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive quirky printing problem.#1651: Dealing with leading zeroes in spreadsheet data, removing ad tracking from ckbk.#1652: OS updates, DPReview shuttered, LucidLink cloud storage.#1653: Apple Music Classical review, Authory service for writers, WWDC 2023 dates announced.
