Auto Uploads

An Auto Upload is a mapping associating a local folder with a remote folder. When you drop a file or folder on to Interarchy (that is, on to the Interarchy application icon of the Interarchy Dock icon), if the file is inside an Auto Upload local folder, it will automatically be uploaded to the appropriate location inside the remote folder.

Think of an Auto Upload as a smart Droplet.

To create an Auto Upload, choose File » New » Auto Upload…, enter the location of the remote folder and select the corresponding local folder. Make sure the path specified exactly corresponds to the remote folder (although the contents do not need to be identical as would be the case for a mirror).

When you drop a file (or folder) on to Interarchy, it will check whether the file is inside an Auto Upload. If so, it will find the relative location within the Auto Upload folder, and then upload the file to the correct location within the remote destination as specified by the Auto Upload.

The uploaded file or folder is merged on to the remote site, so nothing is ever deleted, although remote files may be overwritten with new data. All files in an uploaded folder are uploaded, no mirroring happens.

You can view or edit your Auto Uploads in the Auto Uploads collection.

Note that since any changes you make and any Auto Upload that happens will not be noted by any existing mirror or Net Disk, when you next sync a disk or run a mirror it will appear as if both the local and remote files have changed, so depending on the type of mirror, the local files will be uploaded again, or the remote files will be downloaded, or (for Mirror Both Ways) Interarchy will try to guess which of the two is more up to date and transfer. As such it would be best to only use an Auto Upload together with Mirror Upload.

Uploading to Multiple Destinations

If you regularly upload the same file (or folder) to multiple destinations you can use Auto Uploads to automate the process.

Create an Auto Upload for each remote destination you want to upload to. The key step is to select the same local folder for each Auto Upload that you create.

Now, when you drop a file (or folder) on to Interarchy, it will check whether the file is inside each Auto Upload you have created. If so, Interarchy will upload the file to the correct location as specified by the Auto Upload.
