Where Does Dropover Store Data and Settings?
Dropover keeps prefs under its bundle-ID plist on Mac and syncs through iCloud, storing references to dragged files rather than copies.
Last updated
Dropover's core fact is almost philosophical. The shelf holds references, not files. Drag something in and the original stays put while Dropover points at it. Delete the source and the shelf entry points at nothing.
Preferences follow the bundle ID into a plist confirmed by inventories rather than the vendor. An iCloud container with the same ID syncs settings between Macs. Caches appear in truncated third-party snippets only. Quote the plist and the reference model, nothing deeper.
Where Dropover stores this, by platform
~/Library/Preferences/me.damir.dropover-mac.plist
Preferences inferred from the verified me.damir.dropover-mac bundle ID with third-party corroboration. Shelf holds references per vendor FAQ, never copies. iCloud container syncs settings, not files.
Frequently asked questions
Does Dropover copy my dragged files?
Nothing moves. Dropover keeps references to the original files rather than copying them, per the vendor FAQ. Moving or deleting the source breaks the shelf entry. The plist below holds preferences while payloads stay where they were.
Does Dropover sync between Macs?
It syncs preferences through the iCloud container for the verified bundle ID. That covers settings across Macs, not shelf contents. Files themselves never enter the container, so references die when originals move.
Where is the Dropover preferences file?
Look for the bundle-ID plist under Preferences, corroborated by third-party inventories plus convention rather than vendor docs. Cache entries under the same ID are fragmentary reports. No support folder is documented for payloads that were never copied.
