Happy to announce the first release of FolderMonitor on GitHub.
You can download FolderMonitor from https://github.com/Transparent-Systems/FolderMonitor
Scroll down on the GitHub page page to find the README with QuickStart instructions for getting the application up and running quickly.
What is FolderMonitor about?
FolderMonitor is a Python application that monitors one or more folders and its files for changes.
If a change happens that change is propagated to one or more destinations.
What is the added value of FolderMonitor?
- Configure one or more monitors, one for each destination, like a cloud provider, FTP share or LAN share
- Each monitor can be configured with an optional backup in copy or sync mode
- Instantly have files propagated to a destination like cloud provider, FTP share or LAN share
- A real backup
Your data are stored on your local PC and in the cloud. - No vendor lock in.
Changing a storage provider is as simple as changing a destination in a config YAML file
No need to install additional backup software when changing providers - Save storage on your local PC
You only need to store part of your data on your PC, not the entire data set you have in the cloud - Flexible and extendable application architecture
This allows developers to easily add additional action handlers, for example to raise an alarm. - Very fast
The event handling is decoupled from file propagation, making the application responsive and file upload fast.
I hope you find FolderMonitor useful.
Looking forward to your feedback.
