Dropzone 4.7.7 has just been released and should resolve this. It was an issue with the Copy Files action where directories would not be created properly at the destination.
You can update to Dropzone 4.7.7 in the Dropzone Settings under the Updates tab. The Setapp version and Mac App Store version of 4.7.7 will be available as soon as they are approved (usually a day or two).
Thanks. I think you've definitely uncovered a major bug here. The way copy and move works has changed drastically for Sonoma and it looks like there is some case here my testing hasn't caught.
I can replicate this for a Copy Files action when copying a folder but it works as expected for Move Files actions. Is this what you're seeing?
Also, if you try one that doesn't work and then open the grid and press the key combo Cmd+Shift+D (to open the debug console) can you paste the output.
I'm investigating this as top priority so there will likely be an update out to solve it very soon.
The ability to use your own sounds which persist between updates has been added in the latest version of Dropzone (v4.7.5) which is available now.
After you update, to use this for the non-Mac App Store or Setapp versions of Dropzone 4, create a Sounds folder at:
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Dropzone/SoundsOnce created, put your customised aiff sound files in this folder. The two sounds currently are named TaskFinished.aiff and GridDrop.aiff
If Dropzone finds this 'Sounds' folder exists at the above path and contains either of those filenames then it will use those sound files rather that the ones included inside the Dropzone 4.app bundle Resources folder.
For the Mac App Store version of Dropzone, the folder and sounds would instead need to be located at the below path:
/Users/<username>/Library/Containers/com.aptonic.Dropzone4/Data/Library/Application Support/Dropzone/SoundsThat could certainly be done. Would probably just have a hidden preference for this.
No promises, but I will see what I can do about this in one of the next few releases.
You're using an outdated version of Dropzone 4 and the YouTube Downloader action. Please update both and this will work as expected.
Yep, Google has killed the API this action used. I'm still considering what to do about this.
Thanks - there was a bug in the Rename and Move Files action when dragging items from Mail. I have just released a new version (Dropzone 4.5.9) which will resolve this for you.
You can update manually from the Updates tab in the Dropzone Preferences.
I think there may be some confusion here because you can't just open the grid and press the hotkey to move files. To operate Dropzone like this you need to select the file in Finder and use the Ctrl+Option+Cmd+D shortcut to open the Dropzone grid in services mode and then push the corresponding hotkey.
If you just opened the grid and hit the hotkey it would perform the click action which would just be to open the folder so I suspect this is what may be happening to you here.
Hi there,
Is it possible it is currently in your grid? The AirDrop action only shows as an option if not already in the grid.
If it is still not showing in the menu and not already in the grid then the likely reason for this will be macOS reporting AirDrop is not available for some reason. A reboot may help here.
Also are you running Dropzone 4? Improvements were made to Dropzone 4 in this area.
Hi Peter,
This is not currently possible but I will consider this for a future action.

Hi there,
It's not currently possible to use the Print action to print to a PDF. It is designed for printing to actual printers.
I will look at adding a convert to PDF conversion action in a future version.

Thanks for the report. I'm aware of this issue and am planning to resolve it in a coming update.
In the meantime it shouldn't impact functionality at all though.
I just fixed a bug in this action that may have been causing this issue.
Can you please update the action (you can do this by right clicking the Instagram Downloader action in the Dropzone grid, clicking edit and then clicking the 'Check for Action Update' button) and then trying this download again.
Make sure the Instagram Downloader action is on version 1.2 (this is also shown when editing the action).
If it still fails, can you please also provide the Instagram post URL you dropped on Dropzone that failed. This is also included in the earlier section of the debug log but you haven't included this above.
OK yep I found another issue. Can you please update the action (you can do this by right clicking the Instagram Downloader action in the grid, clicking edit and then clicking the 'Check for Action Update' button) then trying this download again.
Make sure the Instagram Downloader action is on version 1.2 (this is also shown when editing the action).
Let me know how you get on.
Cool, well if it works that's great 
It likely wouldn't work even if you did find it. The regular updates are for a reason...
The YouTube Downloader action is updated very frequently and whatever the latest update was must have broken it on older unsupported Python versions used by 10.13 and earlier.
Hi there,
Sorry but you're out of luck. Earlier than 10.15 is no longer supported by Dropzone.
Yep sorry there was a bug in this action that I have now resolved.
Please reinstall the action again from the below URL and then it should work as expected:
Yep you can do that, just replace the 'Take Screenshot' action in the shortcuts workflow with a 'Get Clipboard' action instead and use this as the magic variable input for the save file step. You have to save to disk first to make this work - But you can just use a temporary folder for that.
Here's how to setup the Shortcut:
Yep, add a 'Run AppleScript' action as shown below:
And set it up as shown below:
AppleScript code to copy and paste into the 'Configure AppleScript' section as shown in the screenshot above:
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in draggedFiles
set draggedFile to item i of draggedFiles
set aFile to draggedFile as alias
tell application "Finder" to open information window of aFile
end repeatHi there,
Which file information are you wanting to see?
John
Hi there,
The way to do this would be with the new Shortcuts integration in Dropzone. Take a look at this blog post/video for details:
Nope it's highly unlikely that it's as simple as changing a setting to fix this.
Yep, correct - Mojave is no longer supported. macOS 10.15 is now the minimum requirement. Recommend you test this again when you upgrade your Mac.
