## Kitsmith's take

A quicker alternative to AirDrop’s occasional flakiness for Mac-to-Mac transfers on the same network: right-click a file in Finder, choose Share → FileDrop, and it lands on the destination automatically, renamed if needed, with no manual confirmation step on the receiving end. The free Lite version sends one file at a time; a separate paid full version (not verified here) adds multi-file transfers. Thin on reviews, but the one on record calls it useful once configured, consistent with the developer’s decade-long track record on similar single-purpose network utilities.

## Features

- **Finder Share menu integration:** Right-click any file or folder and choose Share → FileDrop to send it, no separate app window needed.
- **FileDrop, SFTP, or FTP/FTPS:** Send to another Mac running FileDrop, or to any SFTP or FTP(S) server.
- **Automatic on the receiving end:** Incoming files are accepted and renamed automatically, without a manual confirmation prompt.
