syncopoly support [or other external app for sync] #195

Would be nice if oandbackup could trigger syncopoly (or something similar) when a backup is finished. Optionally with deletion of the backup, if the sync is complete.

Sounds pretty easy like kicking an intent of your choice. Like Easer does Easer (Event-driven Android automation) - https://f-droid.org/app/ryey.easer

You could also use Syncthing. That doesn't need support from the app itself.

i have syncthing set up to monitor my backup directory by itself, so strictly for synchonization you don't need support from inside oab. of course, this doesn't handle the case where you want something to happen with the backups on completed synchronization and it requires the synchronization process to run regularly to pick up changes to the backup directory instead of these changes being pushed from oab.
