Introducing Custom Tasks
Create Automated File Tasks from your iPad
Custom Tasks are for iOS power users. Build simple or complex file commands and run them on any folder on your servers or in the cloud. FileBrowserGO's step by step Custom Task builder which provides you with the building blocks to create your own file based workflows.
How do FileBrowserGO's Custom Tasks work?
Navigate to a folder location from within FileBrowserGO
Filter the number of files returned to just the subset of files you want, using names, dates, sizes or types.
You can add multiple filters for example: A Document, containing the word "Invoice" in the filename, older than 2019 but larger than 2MB.
Perform actions on those files, copy, delete, rename them in bulk using a custom naming format.
You can add multiple copy or move steps.Search and replace text in filenames, add text or dates to filenames.
Run your task manually or set it to automated.
And thats just the beginning...
Custom Tasks can be as simple as create and schedule Backup Tasks to multiple locations, see an example of that here, or a more complex Custom Task such as monitoring a specific folder for pdf documents that include the word "invoice" in the filename. Then copy any new pdfs that appear in that folder to your iPad every hour, see example.
See how FileBrowserGO's Custom Tasks could speed up your workflow, see our series of step by step tutorials showing you how to harness the power of Custom Tasks.
