Collect files in a temporary shelf, then move, share, or process
everything at once.
A shelf when you need it.
Shake your pointer to open a shelf. Drop files, links, text, or
images, then move everything in one pass.
Native by design
Dropover feels at home on macOS. The shelf appears when you need
it and stays out of the way when you don't.
Works with what you drag
Add folders, documents, images, links, text snippets, and web
images from your browser.
Manage your files
Preview, rename, reorder, or remove files directly on the shelf
without breaking your flow.
Fits your workflow
Name and color-code shelves, personalize behavior, and create
custom actions for repetitive tasks.
Instant Actions
Drop files on Instant Actions to run tasks immediately, with no
extra clicks.
Do more with every drop.
The shelf is more than a holding space. Share files, run actions,
upload to cloud services, and automate routine work.
Share in seconds
Send shelf items with Mail, Messages, AirDrop, or any app in the
macOS Share menu.
Built-in file actions
Resize images, extract text, create ZIP archives, and handle
common tasks without leaving the shelf.
Dropover Cloud
Upload once. Share instantly.
Cloud uploads
Upload files from the shelf with one click and copy a public link
instantly.
Use Dropover Cloud, or connect iCloud Drive, AWS S3, Google
Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and Imgur.
Advanced controls
Use keyboard shortcuts, Command Bar, custom actions, and scripts
to move faster through repetitive work.
: Cross-platform feature parity and vector-bitmap integration.
This was the last version built exclusively for the classic Mac OS environment before platform parity. The Golden Age of Creative Suite (1997–2012)
Enmeshment tools, symbols, and basic 3D effects.
: Art Brushes, Scatter Brushes, Calligraphic Brushes, the Gradient Mesh tool, and Smart Guides. 2000: Adobe Illustrator 9.0
The original. Illustrator 1.0 was born out of Adobe’s need to demonstrate the capabilities of the language. Unlike today’s colorful, icon-driven workspace, version 1.0 was starkly minimal. It ran on the Apple Macintosh (the only computer with a GUI suitable for design) and featured only a grayscale workspace. Users drew paths using the Pen Tool (which worked fundamentally the same as today) and Bezier curves. There was no color fill—only black and white outlines. The interface consisted of a simple drawing window and a separate floating toolbox.

: Multiple Artboards per document, the Blob Brush tool, and a completely redesigned gradient tool. 2010: Adobe Illustrator CS5 (v15)
Understanding the evolution of Adobe Illustrator versions by year allows designers to appreciate the tool's journey from a basic drawing program to a complex, integrated, and intelligent creative suite. The Early Years: Establishing Vector Standards (1987-1995)
Adobe Stock integration, Mercury Performance System upgrades, and automatic document recovery features. 2016: Adobe Illustrator CC 2017 (Version 21) Key Launch: November 2016.
The first decade was defined by establishing core vector tools and sporadic platform support. The initial version, codenamed "Picasso," focused on automating manual tasks for graphic designers using lines and Bézier curves.
3D extrusion and revolving effects, OpenType font support, and scribble effects.
. This version introduced Intertwine (overlapping and weaving objects without layers), HDR export , and a vastly faster Image Trace engine (up to 10x quicker). It also added 3D Object export (to GLTF and USD formats for AR/VR).
Version 3.0 (Desert Moose) – Introduced compound paths (allowing objects with holes) and graphing tools.
