zappy-sync

Zappy is a neat little utility for quick capturing screenshots, GIFs, and videos.

Files are stored locally. If you have a Zapier Premium account, they are also hosted in Zapier.

zappy-sync is a little utility to sync your local files to your own cloud storage. This currently only supports Google Cloud Storage, but can be extended.

Installation

pipx install zappy-sync

Configuration

GCP

GCP configuration is quite intense and not for the faint hearted. You need to do the following:

1. Setup a service account. Go to IAM -> Service Accounts, set it up.
2. Setup a bucket where you want your files shared. Go to Storage -> Browser, create a bucket.
3. Change the defacl on this bucket to be public by default. You can do this via the gsutil CLI. gsutil defacl set public-read gs://your-bucket-name
4. Create a JSON key for your service account. Go to IAM -> Service Accounts, click on your service account, click on "Add Key", select JSON. Download this key and save it somewhere safe. Recommend ~/.zappy/gcp.json.

Settings

You can run the whole thing with command line options but having a settings file will make things easier. Store the settings file in ~/.zappy/settings.toml. Here's my settings file:

directory = "~/Pictures/Zappy/"

[storage]
provider = "gcp"  # for now, only gcp is supported

[gcp]
project = "my-project-name"
bucket = "zappy"
credentials = "~/.zappy/gcpkey.json"

Usage

Pretty straight forward. Run zappy-sync and it will watch the directory you specified in the settings file. Any new files will be uploaded to your cloud storage. Deletions are not synced.
