clouddown

Download all your CloudUp files.*

CloudUp is a nice filesharing service with a little app that runs inconspicuously on your computer, uploading every screenshot you take and putting shareable URLs to those screenshots on your clipboard. I used it daily for a number of years, but since it was acquired by Automattic in 2013, the service has not improved much, has not introduce a paid plan, and they recently disabled zip downloads entirely to thwart piracy.

I fear that CloudUp will one day disappear entirely, so I wrote this tool to download everything I uploaded to it over the last few years.

* Note: Clouddown currently only downloads image files, as the CloudUp API no longer returns direct URLs for files. I'm working with Automattic support to see if there's a way around this.

Usage

This module is a bit scrappy, so it's not published to npm.

git clone https://github.com/zeke/clouddown
cd clouddown
npm install

Create a .env file and add your CloudUp email and password to it:

cp .env.example .env

Then:

npm start

This will generate a metadata directory full of JSON data about every file, and a files directory to contain the downloaded files.
