Remote Folder Sync
remote-folder-sync is a npm command line tool to download and upload directories to cloud services (ie: Dropbox)
Current state: proof of concept (PoC)
remote-folder-sync up to now supports only Dropbox. Its aim is to allow synchronization between Emacs and Orgzly. As a proof of concept, there are still several task to do. But there is already a working flow described in this post (TODO: Link post)
