Feature Request: auto download changed files while monitoring #339

Open dauthiatull opened 8 years ago

dauthiatull commented 8 years ago

can the monitor function also auto download changed files when detected?

I would also be interested in this. I don't have enough unix knowledge to know how to use the output of monitor. Maybe an example script could be useful?

Would also be useful to me. Incidentally - I can't get the timeout to work with monitor. Maybe I'm putting the wrong syntax in or something

I've tried ../dropbox_uploader.sh monitor / TIMEOUT ../dropbox_uploader.sh monitor / 1

it comes back and says monitoring "/" for changes and then

FAILED to longpoll (http error): Error in call to API function "files/list_folder/longpoll": request body: could not decode input as JSON

If I can get this to work, then I think the way to get the download to work would be to follow it with

../dropbox_uploader.sh -s download / (just to download new files, or without the -s to download all), then restart the monitor
