Security
Magic Dragin helps you drag files from apps into other applications while keeping file contents local to your device. This page explains how the app handles temporary files, logs, telemetry, licensing, updates, and support diagnostics.
File Handling
During a drop operation, Magic Dragin creates temporary files in your temp directory. The target application needs a file path it can access to complete the drop. Magic Dragin keeps those temporary files available while the target application reads them, then they are cleaned up on reboot.
This approach matches the pattern used by Chrome-based apps when dragging files out of the app or browser. For example, dragging a file from New Outlook to File Explorer without Magic Dragin uses the same general temporary-file approach.
Local Processing and Storage
Drag-and-drop processing happens locally on your device. In addition to the temporary drag files described above, Magic Dragin writes logs and crash data to files under %APPDATA%\MagicDragin.
Metadata and Logs
To complete drag-and-drop operations, Magic Dragin may process file paths and related metadata. File paths and troubleshooting details may be written to log files under %APPDATA%\MagicDragin.
Network Communication
Magic Dragin uses internet connections for product updates, license checks, and telemetry.
Updates
The app checks for updates and installs them when available.
Licensing
The app checks for license updates, including updated expiration dates. For organization licenses, the organization’s license ID is transmitted as part of this check.
Telemetry
Magic Dragin submits telemetry to help track errors and understand usage. Telemetry may include information such as operating system version, drag and drop counts, file types, file sizes, and drag source and target application names. Telemetry does not include file contents, file paths, or file names.
Error reports may include internal application state and system error codes or messages. While the telemetry and error reports are helpful in improving the product, they can be disabled via a registry key if desired.
Remote Access
Magic Dragin does not include a remote access component. The Magic Dragin team cannot remotely access your system for support, diagnostics, or maintenance.
For support and troubleshooting, the app includes a tray menu option at Help > Collect support files. This creates a single .zip file containing logs, which you can choose to send to support manually.
