GOOD TO KNOW.

A few good questions.

Which Macs can run DropShift?

The direct edition requires macOS 14 or later. The current download supports Apple Silicon (M-series) Macs. The Mac App Store edition is still in preparation.

How do I enable Quick Drag?

Quick Drag is off by default. Enable it in the app settings and grant Accessibility permission to detect Shift and Option during Finder drags. Selecting files directly in the app window does not require this permission.

Will my files be uploaded?

No. Media conversion and editing happen on your Mac. The Mac App Store edition uses no advertising, analytics, or tracking services. The direct edition contacts a license service for activation and verification; your media stays local.

Can I process a batch? Are originals preserved?

Yes. Select multiple files for batch processing. Results are saved in the source folder with automatic numbering for matching names, preserving originals. If the folder is not writable, the app asks you to choose another output folder.

How can I try and buy DropShift?

The direct edition includes a 7-day trial. A license key costs CNY ¥48 as a one-time purchase, with a perpetual license for up to 3 Macs. Download the trial below, then buy a key from Liandong Shop and activate it in the app. Direct-edition keys do not work with the Mac App Store edition.
