Why Drag & Drop Isn't Pro Enough
We're all familiar with this dialog, but it only works with the file you're dragging to. Import Magic works across every single file.
The real pain: Tediously dragging and dropping to your editing drive, backup drives. Manually reformatting SD cards and checking duplicates. Hours wasted.
With Import Magic: Checks every single file and detects new files, automatically import to multiple drives at the same time. Never format an SD card again.
