Shortcut for copying a file to cloud storages?

Although you lack experience with it, Shortcuts would be your best bet. You’ll have to do some homework.
It is possible via shortcut but you need scriptable for that.

Python?
Dang it. I thought it would work…
Yes, if it’s not in iCloud or Dropbox, you have to select the file manually. There are two ways to do it:
1. You run your shortcut and select the file to copy manually using the file select dialog
2. Or you open Files app, long tap on the source file, select Share and then your shortcut. The shortcut will receive that file as input. I think this one is a little bit quicker
To quickly locate your file you can use tags
Some apps (a-Shell, Scriptable) allow to “bookmark” folders - it’s a way to access files outside of their sandboxes. Scriptable and Toolbox Pro allow to bookmark files. But it only works for local files, iCloud, probably Dropbox but not sure, and apps like Secure Shellfish and Working Copy (they support Open-in-place). No luck with OneDrive
I wrote this to run backups of all my useful app data:
https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/43953/ios-file-backup-pythonista-script
It “raw” so you need to know what you are doing but it has been working for me to safely back up the data from multiple apps for the last few months.
It uses the bookmark principle mentioned above and so comes with the same limitations.
I assumed that you were working at doing the synching and copying not on iOS. I was thinking along the lines of initiate from the iPad up to one service and then trigger the sync externally.
That’s true. Not for all types of storage. Most devs(looking at you Microsoft and Dropbox) just don’t care or they don’t want you to access files from outside their apps
And I personally hate JavaScript
So I’d use a-Shell or Toolbox Pro, they can save files to bookmarked folders too
Well, if you have a Linux server, why not use it for this?
You can upload a new version of the file via SFTP, Dropbox or OneDrive. And then start a ssh script remotely to sync changes to other clouds using rclone
This is what they have in the Files and Folders category
It is a great piece of software. It's open source and used by many. I use it on my mac to copy files from/to Dropbox and OneDrive, I've uninstalled their client desktop apps long ago (Dropbox had that sneaky kernel extension and OneDrive was slowing down my machine). The only downside is it can not sync two-way but it's in the road map
I don't use mac ports, I use brew -
brew install rcloneHow often does this sync need to occur? Or are you gonna do it manually?
I actually use ChronoSync on the mac for all of this. You can schedule the backups (as many as you want, I have mine broken out into about 20 different tasks including backing up remote computers in the house to a NAS), and it will wake you mac for the backups.
I dunno if I'd trust an ipad and files app on wifi as a reliable brain for a backup/sync solution.
Chronosync will not update a changed password, but it will wake and shutdown your mac when the task is required.
I use Chronosync monitor on my mobile for push notifications and monitoring of tasks.
I should probably change my passwords more often, but they're all above 100bits, so I don't sweat it too much.
I use a 2012 mac mini server running bare metal and 3 vms (so no macOS overhead), which sits in the corner always powered on to handle these types of things. All the automated stuff. You can pick them up for about 250$ with an i7. Another 150$+ and you can get 2 1tb ssd's (which isn't close to full cause I dont store anything local in the VMs) and max it out at the 16gb of RAM. More than speedy for these tasks and outperforms my synology for these things by far.
Ok, I did some digging and maybe iSH is what you need
You can access folders outside ish's sandbox using mount:
mount -t ios . /mntIt will display a standard folder select dialog. Again, as with other apps, it will be just local files, iCloud, Working Copy
And you can actually install rclone inside iSH. It's based on Alpine Linux, so you'll have to use Alpine's package manager apk
It seems to run but I haven't tested it yet. It takes time to setup authorization, etc.
