Vor Sync Script

Description

This script is designed to continuously sync video recordings (.mov files) from a local directory to Google Drive. It's particularly useful for situations where you need to upload large video files as they're being recorded, ensuring that the upload is nearly complete by the time the recording finishes.

Features

• Continuous syncing of .mov files as they're being recorded
• Efficient handling of large files
• Cleanup of temporary files
• Graceful interrupt handling
• Detailed logging of activities

Requirements

• Bash shell
• rsync
• rclone (configured for Google Drive)

Usage

1. Navigate to the script directory: cd vor-sync-script
2. Make the script executable: chmod +x sync_recordings.sh
3. Run the script: ./sync_recordings.sh

The script will start syncing files from the specified local directory to Google Drive. It will continue running until interrupted with Ctrl+C.

Configuration

Edit the following variables at the top of sync_recordings.sh to match your setup:

• LOCAL_RECORDINGS: Path to the directory containing the video recordings
• TEMP_COPY_BASE: Path to a temporary directory for intermediate copies
• REMOTE_PATH: rclone path for the Google Drive destination
• SYNC_INTERVAL: Time in seconds between sync cycles
• STABLE_TIME: Time in seconds between stability checks
