I then tried enumerating the controls with my script. But unfortunately as soon as I click on the Finder Tool the Dropbox window closes. I would have been happy with the "simple" approach of using the Autoit Window Info tool to manually identify the values for the control. I am able to open Dropbox from the System Tray, but I can't figure out how to enumerate the controls. So the idea is that the script will emulate what a user would normally do by clicking on Dropbox on the System Tray and then the script will toggle the sync operation I'm trying to write a script to allow pause / resume of Dropbox syncing so that Dropbox syncing can be scheduled. The folder names propably are different for non-German localized Windows and Dropbox, just modify them to meet your localization. By that final step the images are moved out of the dropbox on the mobile phone as well, so that there is always space left to sync more pics / movies.Īs moving pics / movies out of the dropbox folder on the laptop doesn't touch the copies in the mobile phone's "Gallery", she has all the pics / movies at all three locations: So on the Laptop she checks from time to time the destination folder inside the dropbox folder and moves the pics / movies on the laptop to some other folder outside the dropbox as well. Move all content from the "Camera Upload Folder" do some other folder *INSIDE* the DB folder to indicate, that the backup copies at home were done successfullyĭropbox is also installed on the Laptop she has with her. The script is running at home and doing this:Ĭopy all content from the "Camera Upload Folder" within the dropbox folder to some folder *OUTSIDE* the DB folder The idea is to have a copy of *ALL* pictures and movies taken with the mobile phone *OUTSIDE* the dropbox folder, so that the DB Max Size is never exceeded. On-the-Road: One mobile phone, Camera Uploads are activated for her dropbox account, one Laptop.


The following script is running quite nicely for a friend of mine doing a year of work and travel to have a backup at home for all the pics and movies taken with her mobile phone,Īt home: a VMWARE virtual machine with dropbox installed for her DB account
