Sync between devices, how to?

last edited byHi there,
I wonder how do you guys sync your files between devices?
I'm actually using freekrai's DropboxSync.py with some minor tweeks to get the job done.
Do you have a better or simpler solution? I hope sync will be a future builtin feature.

Your proposed changes above would make a great pull request. I had not realized that str.endswith() can take a tuple... That is supercool.

last edited byI've pushed a new version with nested folder support & includes pyui files.
Additional extensions are easy to add now if someone wants to submit a PR with additions (there is a collection called SUPPORTED_EXTENSIONS near the start of the file).
Thanks for the interest in the script, it was only written as something to introduce me to Python and pythonista!

Thanks for this update. It's a great tool.

last edited by@DavidHutchison Thank you for your update. I tested in my enviroment and I bumped into 2 issues.

last edited by@Balur both bugs now resolved.
The feature request (for skip folders) is technically in the code (SKIP_FILES collection can be added to with paths relative to the root), but I'm leaving that issue open for now. I feel a configuration file will be a more maintainable approach going forward than having anyone using this having to keep track of their own code changes through updates.

last edited by@DavidHutchison Thank you again. With SKIP_FILES collection, can complete folders be skipped without add file by file? Config file is a good direction. I'm definitely looking forward to it.
Yesterday I also found two more issues about empty folders and re-uploading deleted files.

last edited by@Balur yes whole folders work (I checked it when working on the fixes).

last edited byI know Apple's restrictions prevent access to other syncing services from something that can run code (such as Pythonista), but does that also apply to a Pythonista-specific folder on Apple's own iCloud Drive?

last edited byYes it does.
