bookmark_borderScript for Organizing Bitcasa’s Upload Directory

Bitcasa is a great option for everyone who wants to backup a big chunk of files. You have unlimited space to host your files, and it also works as an external drive. I can say it works alright, but it is still a bit slow and there is still a lot of work to be done in order to be as good as its competitors, such as Dropbox.

With the last iOS update, you are now able to backup all of your phone’s pictures directly to the Bitcasa Upload folder. It’s great and works very well BUT the problem is that after a month of uploads, the folder is packed with more than a thousand pictures, which makes it extremely slow to function (because it’s all in the cloud). So I made a small python script to automatically organize the folder by the time it was uploaded, creating a folder like /Volumes/Bitcasa/Uploads/2013/Aug and it moves them to those folders.

Below you can check out the script, hope it helps!
