Document Upload Server

This project is a simple Flask application that provides an endpoint for uploading documents to a server. It can be used to test the functionality of automatically sending documents to a server using a Python script. It watches a specified folder then sends what's added in that specific folder then sends a request that contains the new file to a server.
