Yes, its that time of year. The clocks have gone forward, the evenings are getting longer and dare I say it, it’s feeling warmer. Spring is definitely here and with it comes the time for tidying up and clearing out. Well, don’t ignore your computer when it comes to the spring cleaning bug. You know you’ve promised yourself that one day you’d sort out all those files, organise those photos, tidy up your personal documents, well now is the time…
Trouble is, when you start to think seriously about it, the task can appear daunting. Rather than keep all your personal files in one set of folders, you’ve let them get everywhere. On the desktop, split over numerous temporary folders, even on different drives. Well, know there is a nifty little utility program called DropIt that can help you out.
So what is DropIt? Well, its a flexible, hard-working tool that automates the process of sorting and filing data-files and folders. When you need to organize files, DropIt can eliminate much of the drudgery of searching and manually opening folders and moving individual files around. You can configure DropIt to move, copy or compress your files and folders to specified destinations, based on file-names and/or file-types. You can even save sets of parameters in multiple Profiles for different purposes, projects, drives or computers.
Drop a group of assorted files and/or folders on the floating DropIt image on your desktop and it sorts them automatically and sends them off to the folders you assigned, allowing you to go off and do something more enjoyable with all the time you saved.
DropIt is completely free open source software. Download it today. Its so easy to use and I can guarantee that after a short while, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it. Now, where did I leave that duster?
