It is a tale as old as computers. A Computer Wizard comes along and shows how they can make your life easier and all you have to do is pay them. Then a few years later, ok 6 years later, they up and say that some other Balrog is a better use of their time. This is how I replaced the Camera Upload function in Plex with the Syncthing Process. Syncthing is a free, open-source peer-to-peer file synchronization application available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, Solaris, Darwin, and BSD. It can sync files between devices on a local network, or between remote devices over the Internet. Data security and data safety are built into the design of the software. BIO: Tyler Rudie is the Lead Code Monkey for Siemens Industry Software Accounts Department. Yes my code touched your user account when you got hired. He currently spends his days abusing the Python and Powershell so he can take long naps at work. So far no luck, management and coworkers keep finding him things to do. Demonstrating the core economic principle of unlimited want way to well. He has a bad habit of using overkill in most of his projects. One of these days he will get back to his Photography and Astrophotography hobbies. FOR YOUR INFORMATION: -- EOF --
