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.

OK thanks for the extra info. I will consider adding this feature in an upcoming version.

When do you need to do this and why?

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

haha thats OK I appreciate the feedback - I think a keyboard shortcut to open it is a very good idea so will put this on the TODO list.

Note that you can currently also open the floating Drop Bar by holding the option key when dragging items onto Drop Bar in the main grid.

I have just released Dropzone 4.80.60 which allows you to keep Drop Bar open as a separate, draggable window.

To use this, first update to the latest version then click on the window icon in the top right of the Dropzone grid or click on the 'Drop Bar' item in the Dropzone grid:

This results in a window that floats on top of your other apps that you can drag around:

Hope you like it!

You're the second person to request a way to keep it open this week. I am planning to add a way to do this soon. I will update here when this update is out.

Hmm, sorry but this reel will not download for some reason. I have the same issue. It's a problem with the Instaloader library which Dropzone uses. I have already upgraded it to the latest version but that didn't solve the issue. Resolving the underlying issue with Instaloader is beyond the scope of what I can do right now.

Probably the next step is to file a bug for Instaloader for that URL here:

https://github.com/instaloader/instaloader/issues

At the end of that error message it says:

Login Checkpoint required. Point your browser to /challenge/action/AXEMzPwzfXuwp2G_SxthYR2m96NHjE7JhZtb375KipBw7T71G3g5LeZU5zddW6cwc8g_zT0/AfzNzwulls2iyB3fTn9b

Try going to the URL it provides with instagram.com added to the front. So for the error output you have there you would goto:

https://instagram.com/challenge/action/AXEMzPwzfXuwp2G_SxthYR2m96NHjE7JhZtb375KipBw7T71G3g5LeZU5zddW6cwc8g_zT0/AfzNzwulls2iyB3fTn9b

Run the action again and try going to the challenge URL.

Check you have the 'Run Dropzone Action' shortcut enabled in macOS System Settings -> Keyboard shortcuts -> Services -> Files and Folders.

See screenshot below to clarify:

Yep, I agree this could be cool - will have a think about it. Thanks for the feedback.

That's great to hear. Thanks for the update.
