Original Summary

Dropin is a zero-effort remote archive for files you want to keep, but do not want to organize or keep locally on your Mac. I have a lot of files that I want to keep, but I really do not want to organize them. Old projects, PDFs, exports, datasets, random documents. Most of them are things I might need again someday, but not often enough to keep sitting on my SSD. What I wanted was basically this: drop files in → archive them remotely → forget about organizing them → find them when needed So I built Dropin . You put files into a drop folder and Dropin archives them to storage you control, like a NAS, Backblaze B2, or S3-compatible storage. Before removing the local copy, it: captures searchable metadata stores the file in an encrypted archive verifies that the archive was written correctly checks that the file can be recovered Later, I can search for a file without remembering where I originally put it and restore exactly what I need. I also wanted the archive to be usable by agents. Dropin has an optional MCP interface, so an MCP-capable assistant can search the archive, inspect matches and retrieve a file when I want to work with it. Under the hood it uses restic and rclone . Dropin is mainly the workflow layer around them. It is still an early version and currently supports Apple silicon Macs on macOS 26+.

What would stop you from using it?   submitted by   /u/jmbbg [link]   [comments]
