Droppable is a friendly little app for sending large files. Transfer raw photos and videos without losing quality or large file collections of up to 2TB straight from your Mac Desktop. Set expiry dates, add notes, and send to single recipients or groups.

Sending massive files has been a constant pain for me. From large images, videos, and even just a bulk ZIP file. I really liked the aesthetic of Droppable and it's so simple... I'm actually a bit curious on how this was built. Recommend trying if you're tired of uploading things to a DropBox, Google Drive, and whatever and just want to be able to send things directly from your finder/files folder.

Hey@gabe , I checked and it appears to be more like a Google Drive integration.

@gabe @adam_lab Hey Adam, maker of Droppable here.

Droppable integrates with your Gdrive intentionally - you can use the storage you have, save costs, and have more storage with Google One compared to WeTransfer or other alternatives. Recipients never interact with GDrive, so the experience is pretty seamless :)

@gabe Years ago, I actually built Ziggs.io to solve a similar issue, it's free, no compression, you can send files up to 500MB per file, no account needed and conversations and files never retained. I built it to move files between my devices seamlessly while coding.

@adam_lab I actually was thinking of building something similar which is how I stumbled across Droppable.

@gabe wow, if you'd like to have the source code, I can open source it :)

@gabe thanks for hunting Gabe! 🙏

Hey hunters!

The idea behind Droppable is simple: an alternative to tools like WeTransfer or Dropbox Transfer, but more convenient, efficient, and joyful to use.

Droppable is built for creatives who need to send large files with just a couple of clicks, straight from their desktop. It’s natively designed for macOS and deeply integrated into the system.

It pulls in your contact lists and organizes transfers into threads, just like a messenger, making repeat sending even faster and easier.

Droppable also integrates with your Google Drive, letting you send larger files using the storage you already have. That means fewer subscriptions and lower costs compared to other solutions. Your recipients receive a secure download link via email - never direct access to your Drive.

Select your contacts, set an expiry date, add a note, and hit send.

Small, unobstructive, efficient and joyful. There when you need it.

I'd greatly appreciate it if you gave it a try and shared your feedback with me! Some updates like activity tracking and notifications are in the works, but I’d love to hear what else you’d like to see added.

I personally used wormhole app for basic file sharing. I am curious who is ideal customer for such product/service?

@nihal_pathan I used to use @Wormhole, but I like the ability to make quick shortcuts and share them without needing to open up a browser tab, but good question though!

@nihal_pathan Droppable is designed for creatives who send files repetitively. You can image that a video editor, for example, often has some back and forth with clients, even at the final stages.

There're many other tools that just let you send stuff like Wormhole. Droppable, on the other hand, behaves more like a messenger app for your files. On top of that, it's a native macOS app, which is another unique factor.

Thanks for your question!
