A drag and drop shelf for Windows: shake while you drag
Gathering files from five different folders for one email? Give your mouse a quick shake mid-drag and ShakeDrop opens a shelf right under your cursor. Park files there, go find the rest, then drag the whole stack wherever it needs to go.
Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit.
What ShakeDrop does
Holds anything you can drag
Files, folders and images from the web.
All at once or one by one
Drag the whole stack out, or pick single items.
No false alarms
The shelf only shows when a real file drag reaches it.
Three ways in
A shake, a click on the tray icon, or Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R.
Your files stay put
The shelf only points to files. They stay where they are until you drop them somewhere.
Out of the way
It lives in the tray until you need it.
Who it is for
- People who attach files from several folders to one email or upload
- Designers and editors moving assets between windows and apps
- Mac users on Windows who miss Dropover or Yoink

Questions
Is it like Dropover or Yoink on the Mac?
Yes, the same idea, built for Windows. Dropover and Yoink are Mac apps.
Does the shelf move my files?
No. The shelf only points to them. Files stay where they are until you drop them somewhere.
Can I open the shelf without shaking?
Yes. Click the tray icon or press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R.
Does ShakeDrop send anything online?
No. There is no account and no analytics. The shelf works without internet.
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay once and keep it. Use it on all of your own computers, and every 1.x update is free.
Windows shows a blue warning when I install it.
ShakeDrop comes from an independent developer and is not code-signed yet, so the first time you run the installer Windows may say "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway.
