Auto File Uploader is a lightweight event-based tool that automatically monitors and syncs selected files to a target folder. This is useful for keeping files up-to-date in cloud storage or other backup locations.
- Real-time Monitoring: Detects file changes and copies them to a target directory.
- Simple UI: Allows basic management and monitoring of synced files.
- Context Menu Integration: Easily add files to the sync list via right-click.
- Scheduled "LOGON" Task: Listens to system events and copies files when updated.
- Simple Configuration: Uses a JSON file for easy customization.
- Run the installer script:
install.cmd - Choose the destination folder
- Click Install
The installer performs the following steps:
- Creates a configuration file in
%LOCALAPPDATA%. - Adds a context menu item for adding files to sync.
- Schedules a background task that listens to system events and monitors changes.
The config.json file is used to define the target folder and sync settings.

"target": "C:\\Path\\To\\Target",
"postpone-period": 2
