### 1/5 — Very unintuitive method to choose files to transfer

*2026-07-20*

DropCopy is even more difficult to use than Apple’s own dumb method to enter text to review this application.  It took me quite a while just to figure out why I was unable to enter this text!  I clicked many times in this “Review” segment of the dialog and nothing happed.  Eventually I learned that I had to click in the rightside of the entry field!  OMG.  So stupid is Apple to let that bug persist.  
As re the DropCopy.  I was not able to see any way to transfer files from my iPhone, other than some photos, to my MacOS M1 and some text files that I transferred to iPhone from Mac.  Moreover, when I selected multiple files only one file was transferred.  Apparently each transfer overwrote the previous one.  This a really user unfriendly app.  I have other file transfer apps that are readily intuitive and “just worked” without reading any documentation, tips, or help info.

### 5/5 — Super

*2026-06-30*

This is super useful and I use it every day

### 4/5 — Stopped working on Tahoe 26.4

*2026-04-12*

Update: Still not working on Tahoe 26.4.1 this morning after installation. May try delete and re-install and see if that works… most frustrating as this is an excellent app.

Tried adding IP addresses of other machines - no joy either.






Was working fine until ‘upgrade’ to 26.4, and now no joy. Clearly some network protocols were changed by Apple and DropCopy no longer sees other devices on network.

Hoping it can get fixed - as others have written, it’s a must-have app on all of my devises to shift files around.

### 5/5 — More useful than AirDrop

*2025-12-23*

I manage four to five Macs in our household. this make it easy to move applications and critical files.

### 5/5 — Question

*2025-11-21*

Do I have to turn off firewall to use?  Please answer this question

### 5/5 — Simple Elegant Functional

*2025-07-29, version 5.07*

Love this app.  It bridges my 3 Mac computers  across two buildings seamlessly

### 5/5 — So Good

*2025-07-24*

For its purpose best there is by far. Been using it for years now. 5 Star.

### 5/5 — way better than AirCopy or whatever that flaky Apple thing is called.

*2025-05-25*

Once it’s installed it just works. 
But on M- series Macs it can be a bit tricky because of GuardDog or Homelander or whatever Apples security theatre thing is called,

BTW I'm sure they’ve fix AirFlop, but I use DropCopy now, yaboosucks, Apple!

### 5/5 — It just works.

*2025-04-20*

Invaluable for me --  I got it for grabbing pictures for household inventory/insurance and find I'm using it for everything! Grabbing pictures for Etsy, eBay or my blog, quick pics to email to friends, anything I need to "keep" a copy -- DropCopy means I can just send the pictures from my iPhone to my MacBook Air (or even my ancient 2013 MacBook Pro!) without having to be sitting in front of the recipient machine to accept.  :)
AND -- this works even when AirDrop has forgotten it's on a network.
Thanks Matia labs!

### 5/5 — A great little utility!

*2025-03-03*

I’ve been using DropCopy Pro since 2012. It makes sending files to other Macs in my home office a breeze.  I’m glad the developers have kept it going for all these years.
