What ShelfDock does

From the menu bar

ShelfDock keeps files, folders, text, and images on a local menu bar shelf while you move between apps. Click the tray icon, then drop items onto the open shelf window. Drag a row into a compatible destination app, or use its menu to copy, share, preview, move, or remove it. Keep up to 40 items and organize them into named groups.
