Controlling Smartsync from Python #141

Description

@aprknight

There was a question raised about this back in 2018 on StackOverflow here

The only respondent to that question was the mysterious Greg who said that he would "...pass this along as a feature request..."

As far as I can tell, this is still not possible. Maybe I'm wrong and just can't find it in the documentation.

Consider my use-case...

I am a photographer and I keep all my images in Dropbox. Source (original) images are typically ~30Mb each. However, when I post-process them in Photoshop, the resulting PSD file can be very large - potentially hundreds of megabytes.

What I'd like to do is programmatically navigate through my images folder(s), identify files that are larger than a certain amount (say, 50Mb) then mark those files as "online" whereas everything else could be "local".

I'm a very experienced Python programmer. The directory navigation and size identification is trivial.

Any thoughts on this?
