Droppable

Product Introduction

1. Droppable is a native macOS application designed for transferring large files up to 2TB directly from a user’s desktop while preserving original quality. It integrates with Google One storage for file hosting, supports batch transfers with expiry dates and notes, and operates as a lightweight desktop utility without browser dependencies.
2. The core value of Droppable lies in streamlining file-sharing workflows for creatives by eliminating repetitive browser-based processes, reducing memory overhead through native macOS optimization, and offering a one-time payment model to avoid subscription fatigue.

Main Features

1. Droppable enables drag-and-drop transfers of raw photos, videos, and large file collections (up to 30TB via Google One) directly from the macOS desktop, bypassing browser uploads and compressing folders into ZIP files automatically.
2. The app integrates with Apple Contacts and Google Contacts for auto-complete recipient selection, allowing users to send files to multiple individuals or groups while attaching expiry dates (1 day to 3 months) and contextual notes.
3. A messenger-style interface provides a centralized overview of active and expired transfers, with historical tracking and native macOS notifications for delivery confirmations, all optimized for Ventura (13) and later versions.

Problems Solved

1. Droppable addresses inefficiencies in traditional file-sharing workflows, such as repetitive browser tab management, lack of transfer visibility, and fragmented contact/email input processes that disrupt creative workflows.
2. The product targets photographers, videographers, and designers who regularly send high-resolution media or large project files to clients, collaborators, or remote teams.
3. Typical use cases include delivering unedited photo shoots to clients, sharing 4K/8K video drafts with editors, and distributing design assets to cross-functional teams without relying on subscription-based cloud platforms.

Unique Advantages

1. Unlike web-based tools like WeTransfer or Dropbox, Droppable operates as a native macOS app with system-level integration, reducing memory usage by avoiding Electron frameworks and enabling direct desktop file access.
2. The integration with Google One allows users to leverage existing storage subscriptions for transfers, bypassing platform-specific storage fees while offering scalability up to 30TB.
3. Competitive advantages include a one-time $9.99 payment model (no subscriptions), offline access to transfer histories, and automatic ZIP compression for multi-file batches without manual intervention.
