Setting up a Photo Downloading Workflow


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for dockers / VMs to help me automate the following scenario:

 

I shoot on film and as part of getting the photos developed I am also given the scanned photos. These photos are emailed to be in a dropbox link by the photolab. The link would be to a shared folder on Dropbox, and will contain a number of folders, one for each roll being developed, with the relevant photos in each.

 

Currently, when I receive the email with the photos, I copy the files to my dropbox and then use rclone on a Windows VM (the VM also does a few other things) on Unraid to copy the files over to the array. Ideally, I want to get to a point where I can forward a copy of the email to a specified email address and then have a way that something (app / docker / vm) get's the link to the shared Dropbox folder, and downloads the contents to the array.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might do this?

 

Thanks in advance!
