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.
The Gdrive action does not use Python, it is written in Ruby. As no other users are reporting issues with this action and I have tested it and all is working correctly I suspect this may be some configuration issue with Ruby, macOS or Dropzone on your system.
To begin with I would try reinstalling Dropzone. And ensure you download it from https://aptonic.com/dropzone/latest
Hi there,
Unfortunately this is such a niche use case and the amount of engineering required to integrate and test with Windows apps just isn't worth it.
So we will not be able to provide this feature.
Sorry about that.
I just tested this myself under 4.2.8 and all was well. I'm wondering if this may have been a temporary outage.
Could you test this out again now?
I have rewritten the Tinify action to work again. You can install it from here: https://aptonic.com/actions/install.php … ame=Tinify
Note that it requires the Dropzone 4 non-Mac App Store version. Also it requires an API key which you can get for free at https://tinypng.com/developers
If you have an old version of the action installed then you will want to install it again from the above link so you get the latest version.
The Bitly shortener action has now been replaced with the TinyURL shortener. This is now built into Dropzone 4.
You can add this by adding a 'Shorten URL' action from the add action menu in the top left of the grid as shown in the screenshot below:
Hi PK,
I recommend you kill whatever version of Dropzone you have and delete it and then download the non-Mac App Store version from the below link instead:
https://aptonic.com/dropzone/latest
That should get you running again.
