So, I'm using an iOS app called SuperNote to record instructions for my assistant. When I upload a voice recording to Dropbox from SuperNote, it adds it to the SuperNote folder in Dropbox's apps folder. I want Hazel to then copy that folder and its contents to a folder I created for my assistant. But I only want it to copy over new folders I add -- I want her to be able to delete folders she's worked on, while I'm still keeping the original folder in my Apps folder, just in case I need to refer to it later.

Originally, I created a very straight-forward rule:



and told Hazel to Apply Rule to All Subfolders

But for whatever reason, sometimes only the folder would get copies but not its contents. I thought maybe it was because Hazel was acting before Dropbox was finished uploading. So I created this second rule to get Hazel to wait for 5 minutes and then try again:



But I'm not sure if this is the best way to handle this. Is there a better way?

I don't think you want Hazel going into subfolders if you just want to copy the top level folder with its contents intact. I suggest removing that and then going through the troubleshooting guide stickied at the top of this forum. Make sure to report with the results of the preview (people seem to neglect this) as well as the logs.

Thank you. I'll remove the subfolders rule since I don't need it.
