The problem I'm trying to solve with this script:

Dropbox (and other cloud services) provides a relatively small amount of storage space (as compared to local storage). I would like to backup a copy of my photos onto dropbox, but keeping them at native resolution would use all my space quickly (RAW images can be 30-40mb each).

Features: Picasa support RAW (CR2) support

Requirements:

Imagemagick (specifically the "convert" utility) Linux based computer (like a Mac)

Tested on: Mac OS 10.7, 10.8

To run: Edit the script and add the location to your pictures folder and the folder you want to backup to (Dropbox folder)

sh backup_to_dropbox.sh
