DragDropToClipboard

It often happens that we don’t take into consideration alternative ways of carrying out routine tasks just because we get used to a specific approach. Nevertheless, trying workarounds from now and then is fun, especially when it results in increased productivity.

One tiny application that promises just that is DragDropToClipboard, which is capable of copying to your clipboard any file path in the blink of an eye, with a minimum of effort being necessary.

First things first, users should know that the program is portable, which means no setup is required, and you can simply double-click its executable in order to launch it, and that’s it.

As for the user interface it meets you with once the program is up and running, things couldn’t be simpler as there is one single window you would interact with, with no settings whatsoever being included. The rectangular showing the application’s icon is where you need to drag and drop your files so that you can get their path in no time.

As such, their path is copied to the clipboard, but unfortunately, there is no feedback when completing this task, so you only know that it has worked once you analyze your clipboard’s content. Aside from that, perhaps it would have been a good idea to have your file path displayed in the software utility’s interface as well, which could have also worked as confirmation.

Aside from the aforementioned suggestions, in our opinion, the fact that the program can only handle files is also a major drawback, but hopefully, this feature will be implemented in the future as well. As you can see, DragDropToClipboard is a pretty simple piece of software, and while the enhancements it brings along do come in handy, there is definitely room for improvement.
