Homebrew AirDrop
I like the idea of AirDrop in Lion but wanted to be able to send files to my other Macs without having to open the AirDrop Finder window, without having to accept receiving the files on the other Macs, and without the Macs having to be turned on (or awake).
With this you drop files onto the droplet (app) on the Desktop or placed in the Dock.
It then shows a dialogue window asking where the files should be copied to.
You select a button and it copies the files to a specific folder in Dropbox. Once the files have synced over to the other Macs, Hazel (running on each Mac) moves them to the Desktop.
If you want to try it download the files http://cl.ly/AK1N
Put one of the “Copy to Macs” droplets on the Desktop (or wherever you like, and drag it to the Dock).
Place the “Homebrew AirDrop” folder in your Dropbox folder.
Open one of the “Copy to Macs” droplets in AppleScript Editor and you can change the name of the buttons to whatever you like. If you do this then also change the names for them at 2.a and 3.a to match the button names.
If you want to move the “Homebrew AirDrop” folder to another location in Dropbox then change the path in the AppleScript (2.b and 3.b, (and 4.b. if you use the 3 button version)).
Then on the other Macs open Hazel, add the folders (~/Dropbox/Homebrew AirDrop/Send to Mac 1, or Send to Mac 2) and create a rule similar to the screenshot.
