Create 'Tasks' for automation #256

Open newhinton opened 4 years ago

newhinton commented 4 years ago

rclone and rsync are great tools to create backups. This app adds an easy way to use those tools to copy files from A to B, but at the moment this has to be done manually. It would be great if we could add some form of automation to this app.

I am currently working on an implementation of 'Tasks'. A task consists of a remote, a remote path, a local path and a sync direction. A user can define such a task and start a sync between the defined paths without moving through all the folders and select everything manually.

My Goal was to create a time based sync so that i can backup my phone, but i am not so sure anymore if that is in the scope of this application. Maybe it would be better to expose an intent which can start such a task. Any suggestions?
