About This Tool

This tool allows you to set up automatic monitoring of a specified folder. When new files appear that match your defined patterns (e.g., *.txt, image_*.jpg), they are automatically moved to a destination folder of your choice. You can configure the monitoring interval, file filters, and see real-time logs of moved files. Perfect for automating file organization, backup processes, or workflow automation without manual intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

Does this tool actually move files on my computer?

No, this is a simulation tool that demonstrates the functionality. It runs entirely in your browser and does not access your local file system for security reasons.

Can I monitor multiple folders at once?

Currently, the tool supports monitoring one source folder at a time. You can run multiple instances in different browser tabs for multiple folders.

What file patterns are supported?

You can use wildcards like * (matches any sequence) and ? (matches any single character). For example, '*.txt' matches all text files, 'image_??.jpg' matches files like 'image_01.jpg'.

Is there a limit to the monitoring interval?

The tool allows intervals from 1 second to 1 hour. Very short intervals may impact browser performance in simulation.
