It’s a pain moving / copying files to a Macs shared folder so..
22 Nov
I find it an annoying task, and maybe I’m just lazy. But moving or copying a files to a Macs shared folder get tedious. I use the shared folder on a daily basis and all day. I use numerous separate accounts (to keep things organized) and a lot of the time I need to send them over to the other account to use for whatever reason. (and yes, before you ask – I have a “Personal,” “Business,” and “Other” account on my one Mac – I likes da’ productivity!).
So I was sitting there the other day, thinking of how I could automate such as task and I yelled “OMG I will use Automator!” (it’s a nerd thing, the phrase I yelled when I thought of how to do it, I mean.) Automator is a standard application on the Mac comes on every Mac.
So at 3am I decided to quickly make something up to copy and move Automator plugin for the Finder. I finished ‘em up in a few minutes later. But I thought I’d give it away to the people who don’t want to learn about Automator or Applescript (you should though!)
Download the below .zip archive, unzip it, and put both the “move to shared” and “copy to shared” Finder plugin files and move them to Library > Workflows > Applications > Finder.. and you’ll be good to go! It will now show up whenever you right click any file select “More” and then select “Automator” they will show up there, just click an option for example “Move to Shared” or “Copy to Shared.”
I hope this helps increase your productivity just a bit!
Brandon.
