- One module covers 40+ cloud providers: OneDrive, Dropbox, S3, Backblaze, Google Drive (alternative), WebDAV, and more
- CLI wrapper pattern (same as megatools):
rclone copy+ stderr progress parsing - Requires
rclone configone-time setup (user-guided via/rclonecommand) - Download from cloud → upload to Telegram, or mirror between providers
- Expand existing test suite in
tests/(pytest + pytest-asyncio) - Target core modules:
helper.py,variables.py,manager.py,task_manager.py - Mock Pyrogram client for handler tests
- GitHub Actions CI on push/PR
- Currently English-only
- Support for Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese (most-requested)
- Translation files in
locales/directory - User selects language via
/languagecommand
- Current dashboard is desktop-focused
- Responsive improvements for mobile browsers
- Push notifications via Telegram bot (task complete, errors)
- If bot crashes mid-upload, resume from last chunk instead of re-uploading
- Track upload progress in session state
- Telegram supports
file_idreuse — leverage this
- Download from any source → upload to multiple targets simultaneously
- Example: YouTube → Telegram + Google Drive + OneDrive in one command
- Depends on rclone integration
- Extract archives on-the-fly during upload (stream, don't extract to disk)
- Reduces disk usage for large archives
- Requires
7zpiped to upload
- Convert video to audio (extract soundtrack)
- Audio format conversion (FLAC → MP3, WAV → AAC)
- Tag editing for music files
- Resize/compress images before upload
- Format conversion (HEIC → JPG, WebP → PNG)
- Watermark support
- Generate short links for uploaded files
- Support: bit.ly, tinyurl, is.gd
- Useful for sharing uploaded content
