Automagic Forum

I'm trying to knock together a flow which will backup data from an app to Dropbox. I can easily enough set timer interval to do this every X minutes / hours / days, but I wondered if there was a way to 'watch' a folder and trigger upload to Dropbox automatically whenever the content changes?

Hi,

You could use action Init Variable File List to get the list of new and changed files of a folder. Executing the action for the first time lists all files that match the pattern. Please also check out the help page for details.
Alternatively you could also use trigger File Observer to see if anything in a folder was changed (this Android feature seems to be buggy/unreliable on some versions of Android).

Thanks! I'll check those out
