Best in class utility, highly recommended

I tried Dropshelf, DragonDrop, and Yoink (they all have non-MAS trials by the way). Yoink won and I use it every day. Heres why:

- Support for dragging in multiple items, either all together or from multiple sources (somewhat hidden feature: you can even combine multiple independent items of the same type to drag out with option + double click).
- The support for dragging in multiple items doesnt mean you *have to* combine multiple items which turns out to be pretty important. So you can drag in three separate items and then drag them out one by one if thats what your workflow demands. You can also drag in three files and split them out into three independent items to drag out. The other utilities either dont support multiple items or only support one stack of items, or dont allow combining and pulling things apart in the way Yoink does.
- Not tied to a particular method of dragging, screen edge dragging isnt always great for multiple monitors. You can even trigger Yoinks window with a keyboard shortcut.
- Stable and well-maintained.

One of things I value most is that Yoink allows me to fluidly do things that would otherwise be awkward or require many more steps. For example, if I want to send a file from an SFTP server to a colleague on Slack (chat service), I can drag the file from Transmit to Yoink. The file will be downloaded to Yoinks temporary storage, and the icon in Yoink will be semi-transparent until the file is fully downloaded. Once downloaded I can drag the file into Slack and carry on with my day. I dont have to open Finder, I dont have to remember to delete the file later, its fantastic.

Yoink has the quality of many of my favourite apps (and things in life). It seems simple at first but it has a lot of depth and staying power.

Given all the power Yoink has, it was the clear choice for me and has become a key part of my workflow. Download the trial and see for yourself.
