## What it is
DropPoint is a cross-platform Electron desktop utility that temporarily holds dragged files in a drop zone on your screen, so you can drag content between windows without arranging them side by side. It supports dragging across virtual desktops/workspaces and launching via a global hotkey.

## Use cases
- drag files between maximized windows without side-by-side windows
- copy files across virtual desktops or workspaces
- temporarily hold files while organizing folders
- stage multiple files before dropping them into one destination
- open a quick drop zone with a global hotkey

## When to choose
- you frequently drag files between windows, monitors, or virtual desktops
- you want a free open-source alternative to Dropover
- you need a lightweight tray-resident staging area for files on Windows, macOS, or Linux

## When to avoid
- you only move files within the same folder or via keyboard shortcuts
- you need file sync or cloud transfer rather than local drag-and-drop staging
- you require mobile or web support
