Drag and drop shelf for iPad

Dropla is your iPad’s missing shelf — a flexible, drag-and-drop space where you can collect files from anywhere, work on them quickly, and send them where they need to go.
Instead of digging through folders or switching endlessly between apps, just drop everything into Dropla. It’s your temporary holding space — a place to gather files from multiple sources, preview and edit them, convert formats, and share them forward when you’re ready.
Collect Files from Anywhere
- Drag files from Mail, Safari, Photos, or any other app straight into Dropla
- Combine items from different sources into one easy-to-access place
- Use Dropla as a staging area before uploading, sharing, or archiving files
Work on Files Without Leaving the Shelf
- Preview and annotate documents, images, and PDFs with QuickLook
- Edit .txt files directly to make last-minute changes before sharing
- Rename, copy, and prepare files without leaving the workspace
Convert, Compress, and Prepare
- Instantly convert files into many supported formats
- Compress files for faster sharing or uploading
- See available conversion options at a glance
Multiple Workspaces for Different Projects
- Create dedicated shelves for each project or context
- Keep files separated and switch between workspaces in a tap
- Personalize each workspace with custom backgrounds from Photos, Files, or Image Playground
Quick Actions with Hot Corners
- Drag a file into a bottom corner to trigger custom actions
- Automate frequent tasks like conversion or compression with a single gesture
- Speed up your workflow without menus or taps
Dropla is not a file manager — it’s a temporary shelf that fits right into how you already use your iPad. Drop files in as you work, make quick edits or conversions, and send them on their way. Once you’ve shared or saved them, the shelf is clear and ready for whatever comes next.
