Moving from local to cloud
-
Hi All,
I have a pile of files stored in the local area on my iPad which I'd like to move to dropbox or iCloud. Anyone know a way to shift them all in one go? I could copy them one at a time but there are several hundred there so any help in avoiding that would be appreciated.

Lewis, I was able to use iExplorer (by Macroplant) to move the files in mass to my DropBox folder. Not elegant, but it worked. Wish I could figure out a script to pass it to an intermediate place, but once again that would only be single file transfer.

Use
editor.get_path()
in each location. Then, the os module can find all the files in each directory, and move them. -
You could also look at Dropbox Sync and Dropbox File Picker https://github.com/Pythonista-Tools/Pythonista-Tools/blob/master/Utilities.md
