Drop it in the notch.
Pick it up anywhere.
File Shelf is a place to park files while you work. Drop them on the notch, drag them back out into any app, or send them to a nearby device with AirDrop in a flick.
What it does.
Drop and drag out
Drop files into the dashed zone, then drag them from the shelf into a message, a document or Finder when you’re ready.
AirDrop tile
A tile beside the drop zone sends what’s on the shelf to a nearby device, without opening Finder.
Thumbnails and Quick Look
Each file shows a thumbnail. Hover to preview it with Quick Look or remove it from the shelf.
Good to know.
- Choose how long files stay: 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week or until removed. The default is 1 day.
- The shelf keeps a reference to each file, not a copy. If you move or delete the original, it disappears from the shelf.
- AirDrop needs Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on. If it isn’t available, PeakPad tells you.
- Change the retention window from the small menu at the top of the drop zone.

Are my files copied?
