Why the app?
The desktop app instead of a browser tab?
Built for Linux workstations: drag files or folders from your file manager, start the upload, and let the app handle the rest — a good fit for large volumes and long uploads, with no tab to keep an eye on.
The interface is identical to Windows and macOS: handy for multi-OS teams.
