Beta Beat: DropCopy for iPhone
Eric Redlinger of 10base-t dropped me a note to let me know that DropCopy for iPhone now has a stable beta release. DropCopy is a Mac-based utility that allows you to copy files from one machine to another by dropping them onto a sharing window. The iPhone beta extends that functionality to support phone-to-phone, phone-to-mac, and mac-to-phone file transfers. You can download a copy of the beta here (download link). I'm really looking forward to giving this a try. Good work, 10base-t guys!

I'm very excited about this Beta, however I have been unable to make it work.. As has a friend of mine as well...
Anyone else have any luck getting this to run?
I'm using firmware 1.1.2, I don't know if that makes a difference...
Thanks!

Works for me..I'm on 1.1.1
Looks like Pics,Tunes and Docs transfers are still under construction, but I can transfer apps to my Mac.

I'm on 1.1.1
When I launch the application, I get an empty screen. After half a minute or so, the Springboard comes back.

The app uses wi-fi through Bonjour on Mac

Correction: It didn't work because I didn't read everything. You have to have DropCopy running on both the iPhone/iPod and your Mac.

This works like a charm on 1.1.1. Thanks.
The only problem I had was sending a photo from my Mac->iPhone and having the iPhone view it. I used Mobile Finder to rename and move the file to the DCM folder. But when I view it, the phone resets.

How do I install the downloaded file on my iPhone? I'm running version 1.1.2. Do I need to jailbreak the phone first or will it run on the regular OS?? Please HELP!

This looks good. In near future I think this generous who made this will add Bluetooth to this. For other mobiles and stuff
