I set up a rule in integromat to automate this process.

It runs once a day and checks if there are any files older than 3 days in the specified pigeon folder, if so it deletes them.

You can create your own rules pretty easily, but I attached a screenshot of my setup and the blueprint.json file you can use to copy it.

Thanks for looking into this, I also found the following:
andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader#186

I spent over an hour the other day trying to get it working using the above approach, however I couldn't get the grep/sed to format the output cleanly enough for dropbox_uploader.sh delete to accept.

Hopefully this can be solved by someone with a bit more experience than I :)

Hi Erik,

I fixed this in the last release. It is now deleting files after saving to Dropbox automatically. Let me know if this is not working for you!

There are no parameters for deletion though, you can't leave the file there for a specific amount of time, it just removes it after the Dropbox operation.

I'm interested in implementing other storage options in the future.

Regards,

Hey Geraldo-

Perhaps I wasnt clear enough, I meant deleting the files FROM Dropbox (not from the local storage, which yes that is working fine for me).

The problem I'm trying to avoid is running out of cloud storage (and generally there is no need to keep the video around for an extended period of time anyway).

Make sense?

Ohhhh, Thanks for clarifying @erikszewczyk. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

I found this SO question that provides a solution to do it, using the same tool I'm using for dropbox integration (Dropbox_uploader)
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41098278/delete-files-after-certain-date-with-dropbox-uploader-sh

I will see if it works well and if it's possible to integrate that into the current workflow.

Any update here? I would really like this option as well, or preferably, an option to just save files to a new folder every day.

FileQL lets you create auto-delete rules based on any of these criteria: number of days, file type, size and name-suffix. It should work for you as well.
