DropPoint - Make Drag 'n' Drop easier Twitter

DropPoint

Make drag-and-drop easier using DropPoint!

DropPoint helps you drag content without having to open side-by-side windows

Works on Windows, Linux and MacOS.

Minimum OS versions: Windows 10 or later, macOS 12 (Monterey) or later, and a modern 64-bit Linux distribution. Older releases (pre-1.3.x) are available for legacy systems on the Releases Page.

📦 How to Install (Normal Installation)

Go to the Releases Page to download the latest releases

  • Windows
    • Download DropPoint-1.x.x-win.zip from Releases and extract to a blank folder. Run DropPoint.exe.
    • To enable stickyness across Virtual Desktops (Windows) go to Task view while DropPoint is running, right click it and tick "Show Window from this app on all Desktops". Stickyness in other Operating Systems works by default.
  • Mac
    • Download DropPoint-1.x.x-intel.dmg or DropPoint-1.x.x-arm64-Apple-Silicon.dmg(for Apple M1 Devices only) from Releases and install. Open "System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Open Anyway"
  • Linux
    • All Linux Distros: Download DropPoint-1.x.x.AppImage to run.
    • Debian-based Distros (Ubuntu, Mint, PopOs, etc): Download droppoint_1.x.x_amd64.deb.
    • Arch-based Distros (Manjaro, Arch, etc.): Download droppoint-1.x.x.tar.gz
    • RHEL-based Distros (Fedora, Red Hat, etc): Download droppoint-1.x.x.x86_64.rpm.

✌️ Usage

  • Drag and drop any file(s) or folder from the system into DropPoint, go to your desired location and drag it out.
  • App minimises to tray by default when you close the instance. To open instance, click on system tray. To quit, right click on tray icon > Quit.
  • While DropPoint is in the system tray, pressing Shift + Caps Lock anywhere in your PC would create a new instance of DropPoint, at mouse location. (as tested on Windows and Linux) (the shortcut is Shift + Tab on MacOs)

⚙️ Developer Installation

You must have Node.js and Git installed in your PC.

Use Node.js 22 LTS (the version this project is built and tested against — see .nvmrc). Newer non-LTS "Current" releases such as Node 26 have ESM module-resolution regressions that break Electron's binary install (@electron/get fails to load sumchecker). If you use nvm, run nvm use.

  1. Clone repo and change into directory 
    git clone https://github.com/GameGodS3/DropPoint.git
cd DropPoint
  2. Install dependencies and run 
     npm install
npm start

Use Node.js 22 LTS (the version this project is built and tested against — see .nvmrc). Newer non-LTS "Current" releases such as Node 26 have ESM module-resolution regressions that break Electron's binary install (@electron/get fails to load sumchecker). If you use nvm, run nvm use.
  1. Clone repo and change into directory

Works on Windows, Linux and MacOS.

📦 How to Install (Normal Installation)
Go to the Releases Page to download the latest releases
  • Windows

    • Download DropPoint-1.x.x-win.zip from Releases and extract to a blank folder. Run DropPoint.exe.
    • To enable stickyness across Virtual Desktops (Windows) go to Task view while DropPoint is running, right click it and tick "Show Window from this app on all Desktops". Stickyness in other Operating Systems works by default.
  • Mac

    • Download DropPoint-1.x.x-intel.dmg or DropPoint-1.x.x-arm64-Apple-Silicon.dmg(for Apple M1 Devices only) from Releases and install. Open "System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Open Anyway"
  • Linux

    • All Linux Distros: Download DropPoint-1.x.x.AppImage to run.
    • Debian-based Distros (Ubuntu, Mint, PopOs, etc): Download droppoint_1.x.x_amd64.deb.
    • Arch-based Distros (Manjaro, Arch, etc.): Download droppoint-1.x.x.tar.gz
    • RHEL-based Distros (Fedora, Red Hat, etc): Download droppoint-1.x.x.x86_64.rpm.
✌️ Usage
  • Drag and drop any file(s) or folder from the system into DropPoint, go to your desired location and drag it out.
  • App minimises to tray by default when you close the instance. To open instance, click on system tray. To quit, right click on tray icon > Quit.
  • While DropPoint is in the system tray, pressing Shift + Caps Lock anywhere in your PC would create a new instance of DropPoint, at mouse location. (as tested on Windows and Linux) (the shortcut is Shift + Tab on MacOs)
