Dropzone 4 - A Little Pricey But Versatile

One of my favorite utilities, one I've used through several version is Dropzone 4 from Aptonic. It is a menubar app that performs a variety of functions. Similar to apps like Yoink, Unclutter and Dropover, it provides a space to park files you need to copy elsewhere later. You can also create a grid of folders where you frequently copy files to have them always available even if Finder isn't open. One of my favorite features is shortcut integration. I use a shortcut by Jarrod Blundy over at HeyDingus! to upload images to my blog host (Micro.blog). I get prompted to provide alt-text and after doing so I get a Markdown link conveniently copied to my clipboard. Other features include:

• Shorten URLs quickly using TinyURL shortener. Just select a URL to shorten and press Ctrl+Option+Cmd+S and the shortened URL is automatically copied to the clipboard.• AirDrop integration lets you drop files or folders from any app and share them with your other Macs over the network.• Imgur integration lets you share images fast and get a link for pasting.• Quickly resize and convert images between different sizes and formats.• Upload files to Amazon S3 • Upload files to your FTP server• Upload files to your Google Drive• Download and install add-on actions that let you upload to services like Google Drive, YouTube and many others.• Powerful multi-tasking engine allows you to run multiple tasks at once and track the progress of each one through the in-grid task status area.• See how tasks are progressing at a glance in the animated menu item.• Launch Dropzone actions with the newly added keyboard shortcuts feature• Add applications, folders or actions to your grid easily by dragging and dropping them on the Add to Grid area.• Develop your own actions using the updated and massively improved Ruby or Python API

When downloaded from the Aptonic website the app is $35 for a lifetime license. The same license is $39 if you get it from the App Store. If you don't want to spend that much or just try it out, you can pay $1.99 per month. If you are a SetApp subscriber, you are in luck as Dropzone Pro is included in your subscription.
