Route new Dropbox job photos into the right project folder by GPS location

Watches a Dropbox intake folder, reads each new photo's GPS coordinates, picks the closest project site, and moves the file into that project's dated subfolder automatically.

What it does

Keeps a messy shared Dropbox drop zone perpetually organized. Every photo a crew dumps into the intake folder is filed into the correct project folder based on where it was actually taken.

When to use it

Use it when techs sync their phone photos to one Dropbox folder and someone otherwise has to hand-sort hundreds of images per week. Best for teams that already keep project documentation as Dropbox folders and want filing to be hands-off.

How it works

  1. 1A Dropbox trigger fires when a new image lands in the intake folder.
  2. 2The flow extracts the photo's EXIF GPS coordinates.
  3. 3A logic step compares those coordinates against a list of known project site locations and selects the nearest match within a radius threshold.
  4. 4The file is moved into that project's folder, under a subfolder named by capture date.
  5. 5Anything with no GPS or no match within range is routed to a `_needs-review` folder so nothing is silently lost.
