Photo Stream to a Dropbox folder Tue Apr 03, 2012 11:15 pm • by usrbingeek
iCloud syncs the Photo Stream on Macs (10.7.3) to Home > Library > Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets > sub > [folder for each file] > image.jpg

I would like to copy all new photos added to any of the subfolders in the "sub" directory listed above, to a folder within my Dropbox but it's not copying just the files. It's also copying the parent folder. How can I get Hazel to only copy the individual photo files to my Dropbox folder?

Here's my current rule:

I'd greatly appreciate if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong or if there is a better method.

Thanks! :)

See the sticky article about subfolders at the top of this forum.

Thank you for your reply. I did attempt those instructions last night and attempted them again now but it doesn't perform anything at all despite the preview showing:

Here's screen caps of the setup:

Is there something I'm missing or doing incorrectly?

Screencaps aren't coming in for me.

Do not target subfiles in your "Copy" rule. Images don't have subfiles so it makes no sense in that context. You are matching the file itself to see if it's an image.
