Dropbox Automator Processes, Edits Your Dropbox Files

You can use the automator to add lens flare to your photos, J.J Abrams-style. Dropbox Automator does exactly what it promises to do: It takes files in your Dropbox and does things to them, automatically. Point it at a folder and it'll check every few seconds for anything new. Then, when you add a file, it acts.

Photos can be sent to Facebook, or have special effects added to them. Documents can be converted to PDFs, and files can be zipped, encrypted or even moved to another Dropbox folder. And there are plenty more actions to choose from.

Dropbox is pretty great, and there are lots of local ways to act on new files locally.
