Aran Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 There is a dropbox docker Quote Link to comment
Aran Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 I know. But i would like to automatically move files from my dropbox folder to another share without the need of a vm. Quote Link to comment

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 Quote Link to comment
