Needs a few additions to be a great app

I’ve used Fork for years and do like it—a lot. It’s my go to app, and I try to avoid Finder if at all possible. A few things can’t be done in Forklift however:

1. Even after YEARS of requests on the “support” website, there is still no provision for right-clicking a file or folder in Dropbox and getting the context menu getting a Dropbox link, viewing previous versions in Dropbox or view the file/folder on the Dropbox website. For files/folders not in Dropbox, there’s no context menu for moving the item to Dropbox. All of these have long been available in the Finder, and I have to pop out to the Finder to get Dropbox links to share. The developer has said (years ago) that he was looking into it, but repeated requests for such a basic feature have gone without action. This is a really important feature that is basically missing in action.

2. I love the dual-pane feature for copying/moving files and folders. There have been MANY requests for the ability to mount Google Drive, Box, etc., so that they will appear in one pane so that files can easily be manipulated.

3. The search feature apparently searches the entire hard disk and has no provision to limit the search to a particular folder, as does the finder.

Bottom line: this is a good app, and I recommend it if you can put up with the shortcomings and annoyances mentioned above.
