How to

Move Files on Mac.
A Better alternative.

If you move files on Mac multiple times a day, there's a faster way than dragging across Finder windows.

macOS does have a move shortcut, Cmd+Option+V, but most people just drag and drop instead.

ExtraDock lets you drag and drop files directly onto folders without opening them, as well as a temporary file shelf that holds your files until you need them.

The shelf

Temporary Storage

Drag a file onto the shelf and it waits there for you.

Pull files together from different folders, switch windows or spaces, then drop them where they belong when you're ready.

No more holding a drag with one hand while you hunt for the right window with the other.

How it grew

More Than Docks

ExtraDock started simple: put a dock on every display. Over time it grew into an organizational hub for your Mac.

  • Drag and drop files directly into folders, no opening required.
  • A shelf that holds files while you move them around.
  • Folder Stack widget that lets you access unlimited folders of your choice from a single icon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ExtraDock.

ExtraDock gives you multiple lightweight docks that you can pin anywhere across your screens. Use it as an add-on to your native Dock, or go all-in and replace it entirely — it's up to you.
Yes. ExtraDock works independently of the native Dock, so you can use both side by side or hide the native Dock and let ExtraDock take over. It's designed to fit however you work.
ExtraDock supports macOS 12 and later, including macOS 26 Tahoe.
Yes. ExtraDock has a setting that ensures resized and maximized windows respect your docks and won't cover them.
Yes. You can choose from a variety of both visual and behavioral customizations — colors, effects, opacity, borders, custom app icons, as well as auto hide/show, hide on full screen, and more.
Partially. macOS does not provide a way to read badges for Apple apps such as Mail and Messages, so those cannot be shown. Third-party apps like Slack and WhatsApp work as expected.
Yes, with limitations. ExtraDock docks can be attached to a specific screen, so they appear when that screen connects and hide when it disconnects. This relies on macOS identifying each display consistently. DisplayLink monitors and displays connected through docking stations or daisy chains can behave inconsistently, especially after sleep or replugging, which can affect screen recognition.
Live Dock mirrors your native macOS Dock on any screen, either your full Dock or just running apps. Dock Awareness shows only the apps running in your current Space and updates as you switch. Both update dynamically.
