File Transfer Module

The File Transfer Module is a Python package designed to efficiently manage and automate the transfer of various file types from a specified directory (and its subdirectories) to cloud storage services. The module categorizes and uploads image and media files to Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3, and document files to Google Cloud Storage (GCS). This is especially useful for applications dealing with a large number of files, ensuring efficient, scalable, and automated file management.

Configure the Project Update Configuration:

Open FileTransfer/config.py and update the bucket names and file types if necessary. FILE_TYPES = { 'images': ['jpg', 'png', 'svg', 'webp'], 'media': ['mp3', 'mp4', 'mpeg4', 'wmv', '3gp', 'webm'], 'documents': ['doc', 'docx', 'csv', 'pdf'] }

AWS_S3_BUCKET = 'your-s3-bucket-name' GCS_BUCKET = 'your-gcs-bucket-name'

Run the script with the directory containing your files
