If you hover over a stack of grouped files, you’ll see an icon that allows you to break apart all of the items in the stack. Grouped items removed from Yoink will thus be removed as a group.
Items are grouped into a stack when dragging more than one file into Yoink. From there, you can establish the location of the holding area window, along with its size. Yoink’s preferences can be further configured by clicking on the gear icon at the bottom of its interface. That said, options are available to make Yoink appear manually via a keyboard shortcut. You can also make the Yoink holding area move to your mouse location when a drag is initiated. In my opinion, this is the best way to use Yoink.
By default, Yoink is set to appear on the side of the screen whenever you drag a file using your mouse or trackpad. There are also preferences for establishing when the Yoink interface will appear on screen. I recommend enabling the option for the app to Launch at login so that it’s always available. Watch our video walkthrough inside to see how.Īfter installing Yoink, it’s just a matter of setting up its preferences to get going.
#Mac move files full#
Moving files around the Mac is easier with Yoink installed, especially if you make the most of using full screen apps. There are few apps that I consider to be must-haves on OS X, but Yoink is certainly one of them. Yoink serves as a temporary holding area for files on your Mac as you move them between apps, folders, and wherever else in the Finder. When you begin dragging a file on a Mac with Yoink installed, the utility’s interface appears on the side of the screen. Yoink is a utility available on the Mac App Store that I find to be extremely useful.
