Hazel Rules for Incomplete Downloads Tue Oct 13, 2026 2:51 am • by roseblack167
Hi everyone, I'm using Hazel to organize PDF invoices in a cloud-synced folder. Sometimes Hazel moves files before syncing finishes, especially when processing batches of around 40 PDFs.

Is there a reliable way to make Hazel wait until each file is fully downloaded before applying rules, without adding a long fixed delay?

Thanks for any suggestions!
