You can already do this by selecting a file in Finder and pressing Ctrl+Option+Cmd+D.

Hi,
Ctrl+Option+Cmd+D does not work (nothing happens).
I laboriously checked all shortcuts on my Mac, and even tried the app called Shortcut Detective, to no avail.
Could you suggest a way to troubleshoot this ?
Just to be clear
1- I select a file in Finder
2- I type Ctrl+Option+Cmd+D
thank you very much !

Check you have the 'Run Dropzone Action' shortcut enabled in macOS System Settings -> Keyboard shortcuts -> Services -> Files and Folders.
See screenshot below to clarify:

Yes it works thanks to your excellent instructions, but only after restarting my Mac. Thank you for the screenshot.
- you mention ⌃⌥ ⌘D, but it can be any shortcut I choose. Is that correct ?
- when I select a file in Finder → ⌃⌥ ⌘D → DZ pops up and contains an icon showing ⌘D→ I have to either click on that icon or press ⌘D for the file to appear in the grid. Is this normal behaviour ?
I made a screenshot but can't find a way to upload it.
thanks again very much

Yep, you can set the Run Dropzone Shortcut to anything you like by double clicking the key combination shown in my screenshot and assigning a new one.
And yep, that opening the Dropzone grid and needing to press ⌘D is normal behavior.
It works like this because you can also use this key combo to run Dropzone actions.
