README
A small, simple yet powerful script which will watch a folder (or folders recursively) and move the incoming file with png extension to Azure blob storage.
What is this repository for?
- This script servers as an example of use case where you need to monitor a folder for incoming files and perform "action" on them. For example, you may need to create thumbnails for any image uploaded by a website user.
How do I get set up?

To set this up and running is pretty easy. Once you have the code, install the depency packages and you are good to go!
-

CONTAINER_URL="<your azure container URL+SAS token>";
