Description
EagleFiler normally watches the library’s To Import folder and Files folder and imports new files added to them. This script lets you add files to other folders, which are not part of the library. For example, this lets you add files to a folder on a shared network drive or to iCloud Drive using an iPhone. When you run the script, EagleFiler imports the files in those folders and then deletes them (so that the folders remain but are empty).
