Hello and allow me to explain my question.

 

I use dropbox as a 'bridge' between my mobile phone and my windows VM to move my pics taken with my phone.

A small windows program called 'DropIt' moves any *jpeg file detected in my dropbox folder to my unraid server.

 

I works but the windows VM needs alot of recources just for moving around a few files. There are many SYNC tools in the CA but i can't find any simple automatic file MOVER. I need to MOVE (not SYNC) them because the free dropbox folder is too small in terms of GB's.

This can probablly be done by a simple script but i'm not familiar with the cli. Is there a docker or plugin that i overlooked? Or maybe another way to do this? Rsync perhaps?

 

Thanks in advance.

Aran.

 

There is a dropbox docker

I know. But i would like to automatically move files from my dropbox folder to another share without the need of a vm.

 

 

Take a look at the User Scripts plugin and its forum threads.

Okay, it took me a while to figure out how this works but i got it up and running!

 

Behold, my first script:

#!/bin/bash
echo "Moving all jpg files to local array..."
mv /mnt/user/Documents/Dropbox/Camera-uploads/*.jpg /mnt/user/Fotos/Mobile_uploads/

Yes, i'm a newby... but a happy one
